Efficient recovery and processing of recyclable materials into high-quality industrial raw materials has been part of our mission statement from the very beginning.

Kuusakoski Oy has come a long way from being a junkyard in Vyborg to its current position as Northern Europe's leading industrial recycling company. The strongest periods of growth for our company, whose history stretches back over 100 years, were Finland's post-war decades of industrialisation and the time of our entry into the international market from the 1970s to the 1990s. Pioneering research and development work and unparalleled expertise in high technology have also played an important role from the very beginning.It all started in Vyborg, still part of Finland in 1914, when the 25-year-old Donuard Kuschakoff established a company called Karjalan Lumppu- ja Romuliike ('Karelian Rag and Junk Company'). He collected waste metal, iron and waste fabrics with the purpose of sorting and refining them for industrial use. The First World War had a considerable impact on the availability of raw materials, and material shortages were reflected in increased demand for iron and metal junk and rags. Everything that could be collected and recovered was sold. The entire 1920s were a period of rapid growth.We have built our recycling expertise over a hundred years. Our excellent material know-how, specialist expertise and passion for what we do help us develop more efficient and more precise ways of sorting materials. We have minimised the amount of waste going to landfill: we are currently able to recycle or reuse up to 90% of the materials we collect ‒ and in some cases even more.We process waste materials on an industrial scale with years of experience and expertise, selling the recovered metals and other raw materials worldwide. The use of recycled materials is environmentally friendly: it significantly reduces mining, environmental pollution and energy consumption. Depending on the metal in question, the use of recycled metals as raw materials reduces energy consumption up to 60‒95%.

When you purchase your materials from us, you get what you ordered exactly when you need it. Thanks to minimised storage times and optimised logistics, our services are very cost-effective. At the heart of our sales effort are long-term customer relationships ‒ and we pride ourselves in taking good care of them. Personal service is a matter close to our hearts.
