What MUOVI-HELJANKO OY does

Muovi-Heljanko Oy is a Finnish family-owned plastic packaging manufacturer founded in 1985, headquartered in Askola, Finland. The company produces PET bottles, PE bottles, PET jars, jerry cans, and innovative six-layer multilayer canisters (CoEx6) for the food and beverage, technochemical, and cosmetics industries. Its proprietary CoEx6 technology reduces raw material use by 24% and, when combined with 35% recycled plastic content, delivers up to 66% lower carbon footprint versus conventional HDPE packaging, with near-zero evaporation rates suited for hazardous and barrier-sensitive contents. The company operates what it describes as the Nordic region's most modern PET bottle production line, with capacity exceeding 250,000 bottles per day and 30,000 canisters per day, supported by a fully automated warehouse enabling 24/5 product collection.

The business operates a B2B sales-led model, with most production comprising customized solutions co-designed with clients from concept through 3D design, testing, and production. Named enterprise customers include Pernod Ricard Finland (alcoholic beverages), Meira (food condiments), and Titab Pac AB (technochemical contract filling). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 22000:2018 certifications, plus UN approval for hazardous goods canisters, and is recognized as Finland's Strongest Platinum. Distribution is direct to enterprise customers across Nordic and Central European markets, with stated export growth targets of 30% in Sweden and Germany.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no external institutional investors, founded and led by Managing Director Simo Heljanko and Sales Director Mårten Karlsson. Strategic capital deployment of EUR 10M+ in 2021-2022 alongside two major product launches positions the firm as a sustainability-focused mid-market packaging specialist targeting export expansion.
