Orthex is a Finnish manufacturer and supplier of household products. The company offers products such as plastic storage boxes, cutting boards, pots, bowls and other kitchen accessories. The majority of the range is accessed digitally via the company's e-commerce platform, and the products are also offered through licensed retailers. The largest operations are found in the Nordic market.

The winners of Finland’s Most Responsible Product competition have been selected in three categories. This year, the selections highlighted products that, among other things, reduce the need for virgin raw materials and resource use, as well as products with a long lifespan. Home and leisure: Orthex Paulina Self-Watering Pot “We participated in Finland’s Most Responsible Product competition because we believe that responsibly manufactured products deserve to be seen, and the competition provided a good platform for that,” says Hanna Kukkonen, Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer at Orthex Group. “The win brings important visibility to our product and increases customer trust that responsibility is an important value for us.”                   www.ostavastuullisesti.fi              Tee kestävämpiä valintoja helposti    Asiantuntijoiden kuratoimia vastuullisia tuotteita ja palveluita sekä vinkkejä kestävään elämäntapaan.

Profitability last quarter was a positive surprise. I have been thinking that when raw material price pressure continues downwards, demand recovers, and marketing efforts do not necessarily need to be made at the same cost (there were already indications of this in Q3), then suddenly we are quite close to the EBITA target, or even >15%. From Clas Ohlson’s latest sales report. Highlighting the CEO’s comment that sales in Finland, in particular, surprised positively. Sweden has had a more buoyant trend for a longer time. Storage solutions are one of Clas Ohlson’s prioritized product categories.                    Clas Ohlson’s sales increased in October compared to the previous year              Clas Ohlson’s sales increased in October compared to the previous year

Good question! If I interpret it correctly, that graph illustrates the price development of a plastic polymer raw material index in Europe. Orthex purchases raw materials at contract prices, not on spot markets, which means the company’s prices do not fluctuate as wildly, and the predictability of availability and quality is generally better. I don’t know all the plastic raw materials that this index tracks, but generally, they correlate quite well with each other. Typically, contract prices follow faster-moving spot prices with a delay, but this year we have not yet seen a similar drop in contract prices relevant to Orthex. Looking ahead to next year, based on supply and demand dynamics, I would nevertheless guess that we will continue to see pressure on plastic raw material prices and that contract prices will follow suit. If we consider the sources of demand for plastic raw materials in Europe, two key and still weak sectors are the construction and automotive industries. I understand that some recovery is noticeable, especially in the German construction industry, but we are far from fireworks. At the same time, I could imagine that due to US import tariffs, Asian plastic raw materials will find their way to Europe more than usual next year instead of America, which would increase supply despite a weak demand outlook. I cannot access the news on the page without a subscription, but I think these headlines in the news feed probably reflect the mood among plastic raw material manufacturers quite well.

I took a look at the development of plastic prices, and it caught my eye how the price has been falling for several months in a row since the beginning of this year. I also assume that the continuous drop in oil prices has supported the decrease in plastic prices.

Alex was presenting about his company as an investment opportunity at the Investor Days.                    Inderes              Orthex as an Investment | Investor Day Nov. 24, 2025 - Inderes    Time: 24.11.2025 klo 16.00 Alexander Rosenlew, CEO, talks about Orthex as an investment.

Yesterday, we filmed a Swedish-language CEO interview with Alexander, and I took the opportunity to inquire about a topic that has been discussed on the forum: glass food storage solutions. Alexander mentioned that the company already has a small glass-based food storage series, but generally, it hasn’t gained significant traction (I had personally missed/forgotten this). The manufacturing of glass-based products requires significant investments, and additionally, the emissions generated during their production and freight-related emissions due to their weight are challenging. The company has outsourced the manufacturing of this product group, and generally, glass-based product manufacturing capacity seems to be very limited in Europe. However, based on this, I interpret that the company has the readiness to expand its glass-based product offering if consumers were to broadly shift in this direction. Finally, I must also admit that glass storage solutions have increased in our home as well.  Otherwise, the interview contained a lot of repetition of topics already covered in Finnish-language interviews. However, Alexander seemed very pleased with the appointment of the new European Sales Director, and especially that individuals can be grown into larger roles within the company. More resources are also being allocated to growth in Germany. I eagerly await the day when we get tools for automatic transcription and translation of such videos, so that these too become more widely usable than they are now.

Our glass jars have also increased significantly. I was just thinking about the breakage problem last week, why aren’t these glass jars coated with plastic? There would be microplastic-free food inside and impact resistance outside

Orthex's Q3 report was very strong. Despite weak retail sales, the company’s FX-adjusted revenue turned to growth and the gross margin that recovered with sharp leverage pushed earnings well above our expectations. Our forecast changes were positive and largely driven by the higher gross margin.
