Abstract

Arabia's CEO Carl-Gustaf Herlitz (1882–1961) as importer of technologies

Carl-Gustaf Herlitz worked as the CEO of Arabia Corporation between years 1917–1947. In order to develop Arabia’s production process he imported several types of technology in Finland. The first of the new solutions was a mill system which was used to produce mass for porcelain products. The second was a tunnel furnace which made firing more economical. The third was the Bedaux System which made possible the rationalization of handwork in porcelain production. All those technologies together contributed to Arabia’s breakthrough into the international markets.
