They also have a research arm called Nokia Technologies, which the company uses to develop new radio systems, media technologies, sensors, and materials. In fact, they are one of the companies building 5G infrastructure in the US. Today, the company focuses on industries like data networking and telecommunications. It was in the 1970s that the company ventured into electronics and networking. In 1967, they merged with two other companies-one into the rubber business and the other making cables. They then expanded into electricity generation in 1902. The Nokia Corporation was founded in 1865 to manufacture paper.


It's based in Finland and owns the exclusive rights to manufacture phones under the Nokia brand. Jean-Francois Baril, a former Nokia executive, founded HMG Global. It was then sold again in 2016, this time to HMD Global. The company sold the mobile devices division to Microsoft in 2013. Nokia is a multinational company that operates in different industries, not just in the phone space.
