Sampo Rosenlew
Business Profile
PIONEER IN CUSTOMER-ORIENTED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTSampo Rosenlew Ltd has been operating on the same plot at the heart of Pori for over 150 years. The roots of its industrial operations go back to 1853 when the family company Oy W. Rosenlew Ab was founded. Sampo Rosenlew was founded in 1991. Today the company is known worldwide for its high-quality combine harvesters and forestry machines.
The manufacture of combine harvesters began in 1957. The company has delivered more than 50,000 combine harvesters to approximately 50 countries during 60 years. Its key market areas are the Nordic countries, Europe, North Africa and the CIS countries. More than 90 per cent of its products are exported.
Sampo Rosenlew invests in product development and is constantly looking for potential new markets for its products. Customized concepts are available for the developing countries. The company has assembly plants in North Africa and Kazakhstan, where the frames imported from Finland are turned into a complete combine harvester using local workforce. Exporting knowhow will of course be followed by subcontractor networks specific to the target country in order to address component and spare part needs.
Sampo Rosenlew's products are considered to be of high quality also among its toughest competitors. Cooperation with the world's largest agricultural machine manufacturers allows the family company to grow globally. AGCO acts as an important strategic partner and is responsible for the distribution of combine harvesters in Finland and the other Nordic countries. Deere & Company, in turn, sells combine harvesters to Western and Central Europe.
