Why Rekola

THE REKOLA STORY:

The journey began in 1981. The goal is total customer satisfaction.

REKOLA OY was founded by Pauli Rekola in 1981, on the outskirts of Mäntsälä, a small town, a few miles from Helsinki. Pauli’s business concept was crystal clear from the beginning: To develop and manufacture specialised trolleys in steel. In 1995, Pauli’s son, Petri, took over the family company and made the strategic decision to increase focus on cleaning applications and property logistics. Headed by Petri Rekola, the move towards private design and creative solutions focused on the customer was strengthened; a move that laid the foundation for the entire company culture, and which has been the main driving force throughout our journey. A journey where the goal is total customer satisfaction.
