RecTec® – experts in recycling technology
RecTec Engineering Oy is a Finnish project-based engineering workshop designing and manufacturing material handling solutions for the recycling and wood processing industries. Located in Heinola, we employ around 20 in‑house professionals supported by a long‑term subcontractor network.
Our roots date back to 1980, originating from Myllyojan Metalli and later becoming part of the Kuusakoski Group. RecTec Engineering Oy was established as an independent company through a management buyout in 2015.
This transition enabled RecTec to fully focus on designing, improving, and implementing sustainable recycling and material handling technologies. Our strategy is to combine new solutions with customers’ existing processes to build cost‑effective, robust and reliable systems.

Experience, resources and a reliable network
Our strength lies in experienced personnel who understand both material flows and demanding industrial environments. Operations are supported by a long-standing network of subcontractors, with whom numerous recycling plants and industrial modernization projects have been delivered in Finland and internationally.
Our factory is optimized for the manufacturing and pre‑assembly of heavy steel structures:
- Large assembly hall
- Lifting capacity up to 64 tonnes (9 m height)
- Full line pre‑assembly and testing before delivery
Modernization projects can be implemented on a fast schedule, as RecTec has several proven implementation models that enable the required functionalities to be delivered efficiently.
Our operating principles
Customer focus
We analyze material flows, capacity and spatial constraints to deliver safe, tailored solutions. Each project is designed based on the specific requirements of its intended application.
RELIABILITY
In‑house engineering (Vertex G4 / AutoCAD) and decades of process expertise ensure durable, overall cost-effective solutions.
Cost efficiency
We understand the feed materials, quality requirements of output fractions, and relevant sales channels. This enables us to deliver economically optimized processing solutions that support your business performance while minimizing by-products.
