Our head office and production facility are in Forssa. The company employs 35 people and its largest owners are the Partnera Corporation (63%) and Finnish Industry Investment Ltd (32%). We operate as part of the Foamit Group, which also has subsidiaries in Sweden and Norway.

Part of the Nordic Foamit Group, a circular economy company
Uusioaines has its roots in stone crushing. This gave way to glass processing in the 1980s – and with more efficient glass cleaning, to ever more extensive recycling.
The current Uusioaines Oy – founded in 1995 – was acquired by Partnera Oyj (from Oulu) and Finnish Industry Investment Ltd (Tesi) in 2018. At the same time, the name of the parent company was changed to Partnera Glass Recycling Oy.
The Group was purchased in June 2019 by the Swedish firm Hasopor AB, with whom Uusioaines became Europe’s leading foam glass manufacturer. At the beginning of 2020, the parent company was renamed Foamit Group Oy, and in 2021 the Norwegian foam glass manufacturer Glasopor AS joined as a subsidiary.
