Resand Oy, which regenerates used foundry sand to new condition, expands its operations in Germany

Resand Oy, a technology company specializing in the recycling of foundry waste sand, is strengthening its presence in Germany. Carsten Stölting has been appointed CEO of the new Resand Deutschland GmbH.

Carsten Stölting is responsible for Resand Deutschland's sales and services and for building an organization that supports the growth strategy in the German and Central European markets.

“With the launch of our German operations and the recent Siempelkamp agreement, we have moved to the next level in building our international business,” says Resand Oy’s CEO Kalle Härkki.

Resand Oy was previously known as Finn Recycling Oy.

“Resand's technology helps foundries significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions while significantly reducing the sand usage costs associated with their business,” says Carsten Stölting.

“My first task is to focus on building the team and organizing operations to support our plans to provide foundries with a new way to reduce the largest source of waste in foundry operations.”

Even better than virgin sand

Resand started its first commercial project outside Finland with German company Siempelkamp in March 2023.

The German University of Freiberg is involved in the operations of the company's production unit, which promotes research and product development.

The Finnish company has previously utilized sand recycling technology, which it calls regeneration, in several projects with domestic foundries.

Thanks to a patented process, the “reclaimed” sand is of even better quality than virgin sand. The recycled sand can be reused in the foundry process as is.
