Founded in 1942 by visionary entrepreneur Harry Johansson in Bredaryd, Sweden, Rapid Granulator has grown to become a global leader in plastic recycling equipment. Johansson's forward-thinking principles of sustainability and efficiency laid the foundation for a brand that remains innovative and environmentally conscious to this day.

Back in the 1940s, Swedish society placed a strong emphasis on repairing and reusing, and Johansson turned these principles into a business philosophy. His commitment to reducing waste and creating value from discarded materials ensured Rapid Granulator played a pioneering role in sustainable development—even before it became a global priority.

From its founding, Rapid Granulator quickly expanded, establishing operations and agencies across all continents while maintaining its headquarters, production, and development facilities in its hometown of Bredaryd. Today, Rapid Granulator offers world-class recycling solutions that help industries worldwide manage plastic waste, reduce costs, and operate sustainably.
