Founded by entrepreneur Veikko Salli in Nokia, Finland in 1991, Molok quickly became a global solution with installations in over 40 countries.

With manufacturing facilities in Nokia, Finland, and Mount Forest, Ontario, and a global network of sales and distribution, they are able to meet the growing demands of their customers around the world.

The vertical semi-underground design uses gravity to compact waste, reducing the number of collections by as much as 50%. Underground temperatures keep the waste cool, minimizing odours. This translates into reduced truck traffic and lower emissions. Further, the crane-lifted design of Molok allows for the containers to be placed where they are easily accessible by the users.
