Hans Schikkelstad

Hans Hansen Schikkelstad (4 September 1789 – 29 March 1843) was a Norwegian businessperson and politician.

He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1833, representing the constituency of Kristians Amt. He served only one term.[1]

He originally worked as a farmer.[1] 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 & Søn.[2][3][4]

Hans Schikkelstad was also a great-grandfather of Sigbjørn Mustad, and thus grandfather of Kristian Mauritz Mustad.[5] Both these people became members of Parliament.
