Why Plastex

The right product portfolio for portable needs. 5–30 L canisters that squads, patrols, and households actually use. Complements large container manufacturers (e.g. Finncont) rather than competing.
100 % domestic manufacturing. In Lohja, Finland — no foreign dependencies. EU-domestic supply chain.
90 years of process expertise. Blow moulding started at Plastex in the 1950s. Decades of experience in mould design and material selection.
Two manufacturing methods through a single supplier. Blow moulding + injection moulding within the same factory.
Family-owned, long-term partner. The Ant-Wuorinen family (Lauri and Arto) leads the company.
