Responsibility achieved by joint action

For us at Rani, responsible business means using resources in the most efficient way, in common with the practices of our customers and partners. By achieving more with less, we take the best possible approach to sustainable development. Rani Plast was founded on this principle almost seven decades ago, and will continue to be developed along the same lines.

Our Core Values

Our core values reflect the fundamental beliefs of Rani Plast and its personnel. They form the basis of our principles and determine how we operate with our customers, colleagues, and other business partners, while demonstrating our commitment to environmentally sustainable policies.

Service-minded

Service-mindedness is one of our core values. It shows that we are engaged and passionate about everything we do at Rani Plast, that our approach to customers is professional, personal and flexible and that we genuinely go the extra mile. Our core values are reflected in our daily work and everyone within our organisation.

The Rani Family

The Rani Family is one of our core values. There could be no better time to emphasise that the values we apply throughout Rani Plast are mirrored in society as a whole. Caring about our employees and customers and developing honest and trustworthy relationships are the cornerstones of our conduct at work and when doing business outside the workplace.

Responsibility

Responsibility is one of our core values. As we all work together to reduce our load on our precious natural world, we must take responsibility for caring about the environment. This means taking responsibility for our actions in meeting the special challenges involved in sustainability. Rani Plast’s sustainability programmes are thorough and on-going, showing our clients that we are a trustworthy business partner.

State-of-the-art production processes

Blown

Blown film extrusion technology is the packaging industry’s most common way to produce flexible plastic film.

Cast

In cast film extrusion, a molten polymer is run through a flat die system, which creates the film’s final flat shape.

+ 60 production lines

We have a wide range of extrusion lines producing a range of different sizes and shapes including the latest 7-layer technology capable of producing 22m-wide film.

High-quality flexographic printing

Flexographic printing is a roll-fed web printing process typically used for packaging, involving the use of up to eight colours in high resolution.

10 printing lines

We have recently invested in a new printing line, capable of printing film webs up to 2.65m wide – the widest in northern Europe.

35 welding lines

We also offer our customers confectioned films and products.

The Rani Story

In 1955, Nils Ahlbäck founded the company Rani Plast together with his brother Alf Ahlbäck and partners Runar Svartsjö and Ingmar Albäck. The company’s name is derived from the initial letters of the four founders’ names. Since a generational handover began in the mid 1980s, the company has been owned and led by Nils Ahlbäck’s children UIrika and Mikael Ahlbäck.

Our main markets

Today, we export to more than 50 markets worldwide. Steady growth since our foundation has resulted in the regular expansion of our principle factory in Terjärv which is now one of northern Europe’s largest production facilities for polyethylene film. Most of our advanced industrial film is sold in Nordic markets. Our well-known agricultural films are mainly exported to Central and Western Europe, increasingly to clients outside Europe.

Our Management Team

Our dedicated management team comprises: Mats Albäck, Product Development Director; Stefan Kaptens, CFO; Ulrika Ahlbäck, Administrative Director; Dennis Granqvist, Sales Director; Mikael Ahlbäck, Group CEO and Teemu Ojala; Production Director (from left to right in the picture).
