Like many a modern giant, Nokia has humble origins. In 1865, an engineer named Fredrik Idestam began manufacturing paper in a wood pulp mill he built by a river in southern Finland. He called the company Nokia, which also became the name of the town that gradually grew up around the mill as Idestam's business expanded into the export market.
和許多現(xiàn)代巨型企業(yè)一樣,諾基亞起家時(shí)也很卑微。1865年,一位名叫弗蘭德里克·艾德斯塔姆(Fredrik Idestam)的工程師,在芬蘭南部一條河的河邊建起一個(gè)紙漿廠,從事造紙業(yè)。他為這家公司取名為諾基亞, 隨著艾德斯塔姆事業(yè)拓展到出口市場(chǎng),公司逐漸成長(zhǎng)起來,后來那個(gè)城市的 名字也取為諾基亞。
(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于:諾基亞獨(dú)領(lǐng)風(fēng)騷 )
