They are so old that back when they were founded it wasn't a Finnish company but a Russian one, because Finland had not yet become its own country, just a Grand Duchy that was part of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

They managed to a lot better for themselves once they became their own country.

Pirelli also made telecom equipment for a while. There was a lot of overlap between rubber products and telephone supplies in the early copper days, because of the need for insulation.
