Tworth’s history dates back to the 1750s. At that time, a small shipyard was established in Portsmouth Harbour, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the shipyard came under the ownership of the Finnish state and became part of the Tworth Company. Tamfil was founded in 1797 and was one of the leading suppliers of technical textiles. These operations are now part of the Tervos Services business line.
