Roibox was established in 1984 to improve the invention of Mr. Pentti Puumalainen. He and his exploration group had developed a camera-based detector, which sensored the quality of the paper manufacturing process.

In 1994 Roibox was sold to American Measurex Ltd, which was later bought by Honeywell. Later, in Kuopio and Varkaus was located the global research centre of paper industry measuring of the Honeywell concern.

Roibox was ”almost listed” company. The banking house Keitele & Tommila tried to bring Roibox into the OTC-list of the Helsinki exchange in 1985, but the issue was unsuccessful.

Perustettu 1984 Kuopiossa kehittämään Pentti Puumalaisen johtaman tutkimuslaitoksen innovaatiota. Yhtiö kehitti ja valmisti kamerapohjaista vianilmaisinta, joka oli tarkoitettu tarkkailemaan paperinvalmistuksen laatua. Roibox myytiin vuonna 1994 amerikkalaiselle Measurexille, jonka puolestaan on ostanut Honeywell. Kuopioon ja Varkauteen keskitettiin sittemmin koko Honeywellin globaali paperiteollisuuden mittauslaitteiden kehityskeskus.

Roibox on melkein pörssiyhtiö, mutta vain melkein. Pankkiiriliike Keitele & Tommila yritti tuoda Roiboxin OTC-listalle jo vuonna 1985, mutta anti epäonnistui.
