Tailored solutions for all needs in plastic recycling

This is Rapid Granulator 80 years ago, in 1942, Harry Johansson founded Rapid Granulator in his hometown of Bredaryd, Sweden. He was an entrepreneur and visionary who was guided by strong values. Rapid’s products should make a difference for everyone who used them, and for the communities in which they operated.

The concept of sustainable development may not have had the same impact then as now, but for Rapid’s founders it was a matter of course. The overall mentality in Swedish society at the time was to repair things that were broken instead of buying new, and to reuse items and equipment. Harry and his contemporary entrepreneurs were genuinely environmentally friendly, pioneers in sustainability work. Today, we are a world-leading company in producing equipment for plastic recycling, with operations and agencies located all over the world, on all continents. But our head office, production and development...

Prioritizing the environmental issue is not something that is forced, it comes natural for us. We live as we learn from a sustainability perspective, which we have done for more than eight decades. Securing and controlling the climate footprint our business and products make is simply part of our DNA.

We believe that we as a company must set a strong example and we believe that our financial success is directly linked to responsibility for sustainability development. That is why we constantly challenge and drive our industry forward – holding the most patents of any organization within our business. For us, it is important to certify and prove our work with a reduced climate footprint with independent third parties – taking no shortcuts and allowing us the confidence that we are making the right decisions for our customers, and our world. All key components are manufactured at the factory...
