Daily Trivia #332: They've done it all!!

A with the help of his friend B started a company, now known to us as X. They initially entered into the paper industry but later stepped into areas of electricity production, rubber and electronic items. The company gets its name from the place where one of its important mills was located, this place itself was named after a local water body, which in turn owed its name to the nearby fauna. The company almost went bankrupt but was revived after the various divisions of the company were united. This company, now, has restricted itself to a particular sector and is one of the flagbearers of the same. Identify A,B & X.

  1. Nokia,
    Fredrik Idestam established the paper mill & teamed up with Leo Mechelin in 1871 and named their company Nokia.
    The name "Nokia" is derived from a river named Nokianvirta where the paper mill was. The Nakianvirta river got its name from an animal called the "Nokia"
