Kuusakoski Group

Kuusakoski is a recycling services provider. According to its official website, it restores waste materials to their original value by collecting, processing and producing new raw materials, and delivering them to customers worldwide. Its history page states that the company was established in Vyborg in 1914 by Donuard Kuschakoff as Karjalan Lumppu- ja Romuliike (Karelian Rag and Scrap Company), and that it describes itself as Northern Europe's leading industrial recycling company. Its service offering includes analysis and research, ITAD (data security and reuse of IT equipment), logistics, material processing, and sale of recycled raw materials, as well as a Smart Battery Sensor.

Kuusakoski's official history page states that the company began in Vyborg, still part of Finland, in 1914, when 25-year-old Donuard Kuschakoff established Karjalan Lumppu- ja Romuliike (Karelian Rag and Scrap Company). He collected scrap iron, other metals, and fabrics with the purpose of sorting and refining them for industrial use. The page describes the operation as initially very small, and notes that the start of the First World War in 1914 restricted the availability of the usual raw materials. The same page states that the company has come a long way from being a scrapyard in Vyborg to its current position as Northern Europe's leading industrial recycling company, with a history stretching back over 100 years, and that its strongest growth periods were Finland's post-war decades of industrialisation and its entry into the international market from the 1970s to the 1990s.
