Back in 1950, Gunnar Eriksson was enjoying a famous Scandinavian smorgasbord on a ferry boat in between Finland and the Åland Islands. While enjoying a tasteful sausage, he noticed the casing was made artificially which caught his interest. He got so curious he put a piece of the casing into his pocket and had it analyzed in a laboratory.

1952 Gunnar became convinced artificial casing was the future. He wanted to take part in this industry and raised some money to start the Visko Company in Hanko, Finland.
