Finnish company expanding production capacity for hoses, belts with new machinery
Aura, Finland – Reka Industrial Group, which currently only consists of Reka Rubber Ltd, reported growth in the third quarter of 2025, supported by higher volumes.
Reka Rubber’s volume and profitability continued to “develop well” in the three month to end of September, with sales up 23% year-on-year at €7.4 million, Reka Group announced 24 Oct.
Earnings (EBITDA) for the three-month period came in at €900,000, up from €500,000 reported last year.
Over the first nine months of the year, Reka Rubber posted a 15% increase in sales to €24 million, as earnings grew significantly from €800,000 last year to €2.9 million in the first three quarters of 2025.
Reka linked the stronger performance to higher volumes, despite the third quarter being affected by the European holiday season.
According to president and CEO Sari Tulander, Reka Rubber has increased its investments in sales and sales management over the last year.
In addition, the company has increased selling prices to cover costs “as quickly as possible” while focusing on “improving productivity and cost efficiency.”
The company is also expanding capacity in both hose and moulded products, according to Tulander.
A new extrusion line, to add black hose products at the company’s factory in Dopiewo, Poland, was commissioned at the end of September and first production runs are expected by the year-end.
Furthermore, the company expects the delivery of two medium-sized injection presses by the end of the year to improve the productivity and efficiency of the manufacturing of moulded products.
