“ As we celebrate 50 years of innovation , we are reminded that success comes from staying curious , embracing change and learning from the challenges of the past ,” says Veli-Matti Hakala , CEO of Cimcorp . “ These values will guide us into the future .”
Over the years , Cimcorp has been agile in applying its evolving technologies to new industries . From its early success in the picture tube ( cathode-ray tube ) and paint-tinting sectors to major projects in warehousing and tyre manufacturing , Cimcorp has never shied away from breaking into growing industries and adapting to the evolving world of business .
While Cimcorp has covered diverse areas during its five decades , having a sharp focus on selected industries has allowed the company to dive deep into the needs and challenges of each one , ensuring its solutions and services are developed with the client and their business in mind . “ We have the humility to approach the client with open eyes and ears ,” says Tero Peltomäki , former CEO , who led Cimcorp from 2021 to 2024 . “ This is something that customers really appreciate .”
Going global
Global growth was the only option for Cimcorp . The company ’ s history is one of steady growth in its product portfolio and expansion into international markets . “ Our strategic starting point has always been that whatever we do with automation , the domestic market is too small ,” explains Kari Ollila , former CEO ( 1987-2007 ).
