Our Heritage & Journey Since 1649

Founded in 1649 in the picturesque village that gave it its name, Fushaars-BSS began as an ironworks—leveraging untouched nature, powerful waterways, and rich forestland. The early years were marked by the production of nails, wires, knives, wheels, and agricultural implements, helping improve the quality of everyday life in Europe and beyond[2][3][53].
Through the centuries, we championed innovation and forged a standard of excellence—pioneering cutlery, agricultural machinery, and advancing sustainable design. Notably, in 1832, our factory established the region's first cutlery mill, ushering in a new era of crafting fine and functional instruments for home, work, and art[3][53].

• From producing copper durables in the 18th century to household essentials in the 20th and 21st, our evolution is a story of adaptation and resilience.
• The classic orange-handled scissors—a 1967 design triumph—remains an enduring symbol, with over a billion pairs sold globally[13][53][47].
• Our growth is global—reaching 100+ countries and thousands of retail stores, inspiring generations to experience quality, comfort, and timeless style[15].

The Power of Intuitive Design ✨

At Fushaars-BSS, design is not mere aesthetics—it's a pursuit of function, efficiency, and sustainability blended with inspiring visuals. The iconic orange scissors were born not only from innovation in plastics but from a happy accident, when leftover orange was used instead of black[13][50][55].
Our craftspeople and designers believe: “Good design is intuitive, durable, beautiful, and available for all—not just a select few.”

• Each pair of scissors is meticulously tested for quality—right down to the unique “snip”[13][55][47].
• Our functional philosophy carries through all product lines: from ergonomic kitchen tools and gardening implements to circular economy innovations[55][8].
• Our products are frequently recognized with international design awards and are part of collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York[8].
