Industrial capabilities

Specialised expertise. Across three core capabilities.

SULO Group’s European production network is organised around three core industrial capabilities: Bins, Stationary Containers and Compacting.

Each capability brings together manufacturing, engineering and assembly expertise for its own product range – from high-volume bin manufacturing and stationary waste collection systems to baling and compaction equipment.

Clear roles. Built around our Product Lines.

Every production site has a defined role within the Group, and every Product Line draws on its own sites. This clear division of work keeps expertise focused and lets each site concentrate on the products it knows best.

Through our Business Units, these products reach municipalities, collection operators and businesses across Europe and beyond.

Bins

Industrial scale in bin manufacturing.

Four production sites support SULO Group’s bin manufacturing capabilities. Langres and Herford focus on two- and four-wheel bins, Ribarroja on side-loading bins as well as street and litter bins, while Bort-les-Orgues produces wheels and accessories for bins.

Together, these sites combine large-scale manufacturing with specialised production capabilities close to core European markets.

Two production sites support SULO Group’s Stationary Containers Product Line. Chalon-sur-Saône provides expertise in stationary waste collection systems, while Ylöjärvi specialises in semi-underground waste collection.

Together, the two sites combine specialist engineering, rotomoulding and assembly capabilities for stationary collection systems across different markets and applications.
