suunto is finnish
----------------------
Suunto was born in 1936 when Tuomas Vohlonen invented the liquid-filled compass. Essential to Finnish troops during World War II - who needed to know where they were in a flat country full of ice, snow and dense forests - it also set the direction Suunto would follow over the next 70 years - MEASUREMENT. With that core competence we are able to replace the need for luck, by giving people more personal control of their environment. Today Suunto is the largest manufacturer of compasses and precision instruments used all around the world for accurate measurement in areas such as forestry, mining, and surveying.
