History
Horda Stans was founded in 1974 under the name Horda Packningsindustri AB. The company’s founders chose to leave their jobs at Värnamo Gummifabrik to run their own business instead. Initially, the business involved utilising short rolls and second-grade rubber sheeting as part of an early recycling initiative. The rubber sheeting, which would otherwise have been discarded, was turned into rubber gaskets. Building on this core concept, the company grew steadily throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
During the 1990s, the company entered a second phase of strong growth. It established a successful channel for recycled textile felt as sound absorbers for the Swedish automotive industry. Discarded clothing and textiles, primarily made of cotton, were given a new lease of life.
The third phase of growth was also based on an environmentally conscious material. Horda Stans recognised the need for a sound-absorbing material with better mechanical stability and greater processing flexibility. As a further development, a material was created that combined recycled textiles with recycled PET bottles. As this material is thermoplastically mouldable, it could be combined with compression moulding and lamination to create a wider range of product possibilities.
In recent years, significant investments have also been made in the business. The factory has been extensively expanded to facilitate continued growth. Additional machinery offering greater capabilities and increased automation has been purchased to improve efficiency and boost capacity. Significant investment has also been made in human capital to enhance the company’s overall capabilities. Just as Horda Stans has been a profitable and growing company throughout its history, the same can be expected of it in the future.
