Figgjo was established in 1941 as a small-scale pottery workshop by Harald Lima and Sigurd Figved on the west coast of Norway. The company experienced significant growth beginning in 1946 when designer and ceramist Ragnar Grimsrud became co-owner and general manager. Under Grimsrud's guidance, the factory expanded its industrial manufacturing capabilities and began reaching broader markets. In 1968, the company took its current shape following a major merger between Figgjo Fajanse AS and its prominent competitor, Stavangerflint AS.
