Muovitech

What Muovitech does

MuoviTech AB is a Swedish-founded manufacturer of polyethylene-based geoenergy collection and distribution systems, headquartered in Brämhult, Sweden. Founded in 2002 in Borås by Heimo Ojala and his three sons, the company designs and produces ground-source heat exchanger probes (TurboCollector, MuoviEllipse, Standard Collector), pre-insulated PE pipes, polyethylene manifold chambers (MuoviPort, DN650, DN850, DN1200), high-temperature BTES pipe systems (MuoviXtreme, MuoviXpert), heat transfer fluids, backfill materials, and a full range of electrofusion/butt fusion fittings and installation tools. Its core technical differentiator is the patented TurboCollector with internal fins that create turbulent flow at 22% lower flow rates than conventional collectors, reducing borehole thermal resistance by 33% and increasing heat pump COP by up to 11%; performance was validated in 2025 by Chalmers University research published in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.

The company sells almost exclusively B2B to geothermal drilling contractors, installers, and project developers (commercial, residential, public-sector, and industrial end customers). Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware sales of complete geoenergy systems, with supplementary revenue from aftermarket consumables (brine fluids, grout) and equipment rental of welding machines and collector winders. MuoviTech operates four owned manufacturing facilities (Sweden, Finland, Poland, England) and regional sales subsidiaries in Norway, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and the United States, serving customers in approximately 50 countries; over 100,000 TurboCollector units have been installed worldwide since 2008. The company has been a subsidiary of the Swedish industrial conglomerate Ernströmgruppen since 2021, and in October 2025 it acquired GeoHeat to extend capability into semi-deep and deep ground-source heat wells.
