History
Crimping was developed in Finland in the end of 1960s by two farmer brothers, Aimo and Gunnar Korte, based on findings of British researchers as early as 1918. The brothers made the first crimper machine for home farm use, and as the word started to spread, they set up a company to manufacture and sell the machines.
The British researchers had established, that grain attains its peak nutritional value when the moisture content of the grain is between 35% and 45%. However, it took about 50 years before this knowledge was successfully turned into a method to process and preserve the grain when still moist.
