The company was home for several noted Finnish film directors, mainly its founder Erkki Karu, and the later two main directors Risto Orko and Valentin Vaala. After the 'Golden Age' of Finnish cinema ended, the company's film production rate slowed down, and eventually ended with the 1980 film "Tulitikkuja lainaamassa". The company still exists, but is mainly only active in the home video distribution of their catalogue of titles.
