Oy W. Rosenlew Ab was a Finnish multi-industrial company that operated between 1853 and 1987. It was one of the largest industrial companies in Finland. The production facilities were located mainly in Pori.[1]

Rosenlew's home appliance business was acquired by Electrolux in 1982. Electrolux continued to use the Rosenlew brand for home appliances in Finland and manufactured refrigerators in Pori until 1998.[2] In 2024, Electrolux sold the Rosenlew home appliance brand to the Finnish Helkama Group. The brand is currently used for home appliances marketed in Finland by Helkama Kodinkoneet Oy.[3]
