Winston Score History

The full picture

Tomra Systems is a Norwegian company that makes machines that collect and sort used bottles, cans, and other recyclable materials. Its most well-known product is the reverse vending machine — the kiosk you feed empty bottles into at a grocery store to get a small refund. It also makes sensor-based sorting machines used by food producers and mining companies to separate good products from bad ones.

Tomra earns money by selling these machines and charging ongoing fees for service and maintenance contracts. It operates mainly in Europe, where deposit-return schemes for bottles and cans are common, but it also has a growing presence in North America and other regions. The company holds a strong market position in reverse vending, with decades of installed machines creating a large recurring service base. The key growth driver is the global expansion of bottle deposit laws, though slower-than-expected government policy adoption in new markets remains the main risk.
