Audiences get a behind-the-scenes look at the people, technologies, and defining moments that have shaped Cimcorp. The story is told through reflections of past and present employees, rare archival footage, and commentary from Erik Rosenlew, son of the company’s founder, Gustav Rosenlew. Leading robotics academic Mirka Leino also shares expert insights on the legacy of Cimcorp.

The film retraces Cimcorp’s pioneering role in automation, beginning with its founding in the 1970s as the Rosenlew Corporation’s internal tool factory in Pori, Finland. The company sold its first commercial robot in 1975, branching out from industrial tool production. Since then, Cimcorp has consistently pioneered new applications of robotics, from dominating picture tube manufacturing automation in the 1980s and 1990s to delivering breakthrough technologies in the automotive, tire, grocery retail and lithium-ion battery sectors. 

“This documentary is a tribute not only to the innovation and perseverance of Cimcorp, but to the evolution of automation itself,” said Veli-Matti Hakala, CEO, Cimcorp. “It also captures what has truly powered our journey for 50 years: our Cimcorp spirit, the collaborative approach of colleagues to the goal of continual improvement.”

The documentary wraps up with a look at Cimcorp’s vision for the future and how advancements in emerging technologies, such as AI, will redefine automation.
