What Renos does
Renos Oy is a Finnish specialist distributor and solutions provider for trenchless (no-dig) pipe rehabilitation, headquartered in Kaarina with a direct German sales office in Nebra and a logistics warehouse in Marl. The company supplies a complete portfolio covering gravity sewers, pressure pipes, stormwater, and railway infrastructure — including Fränkische's Flexirohr/Flexiputki sliplining system, Gerodur GEROfit R and GEROfit REX pressure pipes (with diffusion protection for contaminated soils), Amiblu/Flowtite GRP composite pipes for large-diameter and pipe-bridge applications, BioLiner bio-based PVC, SPR and SPR PE spiral wound lining, and the Picote Solutions co-developed installation equipment line. A parallel railway vertical comprises FFU synthetic sleepers, ELPA friction management systems, and Calmmoon rail damping.
The business model is a hybrid of value-added distribution, project supply, and certification-driven services: Renos holds exclusive Finnish (and broader European) distribution rights for several OEMs, sells certified installation equipment and consumables through its own online shop, and operates a certified installer network that it trains, equips, and supports. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (pipe, equipment, accessories) priced per unit or per diameter tier, plus technical training and project support for municipal water utilities, civil engineering contractors, industrial sites, and railway operators. Customers are concentrated in Finnish municipalities (Tampereen Vesi, Turun Vesihuolto, HSY, Porvoon Vesi), the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (Väylävirasto), and contractors such as Kreate Oy, with exports to 19 countries.
