Hans Schikkelstad

Hans Hansen Schikkelstad (4 September 1789 – 29 March 1843) was a Norwegian farmer, businessperson and politician. He was the founder of the business which became O. Mustad & Søn.[1][2]

Hans Schikkelstad was born in the parish of Vardal (in the present-day Gjøvik Municipality) in Christians amt (county), Norway. He was raised on the Bråstad farm and in 1809 purchased the nearby Schikkelstad farm.[3][4]

In 1832 he had started the company Brusveen Spiger og Ståltrådfabrikk in Vardal. The factory produced wire and nails. In 1843 the company was taken over by his son-in-law Ole Mustad, who changed the name of the company to O. Mustad, and gradually expanded into other fields. When his son Hans Mustad became co-owner in 1874, the name of the company was changed to O. Mustad & Son A.S.[5][6][7][8][9]

Schikkelstad was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1833, representing the constituency of Christians amt (now part of Innlandet county). He served only one term.[10]

Hans Schikkelstad was married to Marthe Gulbrandsdatter Etnestrand (1794–ca. 1875). They had three children including Anne Marie Schikkelstad (1816–90), who married Ole Mustad. Schikkelstad was also a great-grandfather of Sigbjørn Mustad, and thus grandfather of Kristian Mauritz Mustad.[11] Both these people became members of Parliament.
