In 1967, the three became
the Nokia Group. In the 1980s, Nokia took over Mobira, Salora, Televa
and Luxor of Sweden and became a consumer electronics group -
manufacturing televisions and such.
Nokia continued with its acquisitions spree and, in 1987, bought the
consumer electronics operations and part of the component business of
the German Standard Elektrik Lorenz, the French consumer electronics
company Oceanic, and the Swiss cable machinery company Maillefer. It
proceeded to become the largest Scandinavian information technology
company by digesting Ericsson's data systems division. In 1989, Nokia
emerged as a leader in the cable industry in Continental Europe
by purchasing the Dutch cable company NKF.
During the 1990s the consolidated group refocused on the mobile phone
market and divested all its other businesses.
