Fibox, a Finnish enclosure manufacturer, this month celebrates its twentieth anniversary as a stand alone manufacturing and sales company

Fibox has been making injection moulded enclosures since 1966, but until 1991 the company making the enclosures was Fiskars, which was better known for making knives and scissors, and latterly became the owners of Wilkinson Sword.

Though Fibox has maintained success throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, the road was long and began in 1991 when the current owner, Tapani Niemi, led a management buy out. At that time the only sales office was in Ekenas, Finland with a scattering of distributors around the world. So his first task was to set about making the company a global organisation by opening subsidiary sales companies in other countries.

Legrand has enhanced its range of Plexo IP65 enclosures to make the products stronger, more weatherproof, more secure, and easier and quicker to install than ever before.
