Village of Kimo was born by the rapids, when ironworks started utilising the water power and nearby, uncut woods in 1703. After about 200 years the furnaces coldened, but countryside indystry - meaning a local dairy - continued. The building of this dairy is still present, but it's been sucked into a part of something newer and bigger.

A yet unknown party started feed production at the area. In 1987, a new plant which was built to expand the old dairy building was finished. Later the plant was bought by Raisio Oy, who closed the smallish facility in spring 1998, so the feed production story wasn't very long. The large cold stores of the plant were used for cold logistics still many years after shutdown, but this use seems to also have ended.

The plant produced liquid feeds, apparently mostly for fur farmers who are concentrated in this part of our country. It didn't produce massive amounts and grain wasn't the only main ingredient of the produce. Therefore the usual element of grain refinement, huge grain silos, cannot be found from here. There are only some smaller steel towers.
