Muovipoli – Get to Know Us

Muovipoli was established in 1998 to promote the development of the Finnish plastics industry. We work with companies to promote sustainable use of plastics and recycling innovations in various customer projects and collaborations. We are based in Lahti, where much of the Finnish plastics industry is concentrated.

Our customers are mainly Finnish plastic product manufacturers or machinery and equipment manufacturers using plastic components. Our turnover consists almost entirely of direct service sales to industry. We serve large global companies and small start-ups alike.
