1970's
TOMRA was founded by the two brothers Tore and Petter Planke in 1972. It started out with the design, manufacturing and sale of reverse vending machines (RVMs) for automated collection of used beverage containers. Through 70s a breakthrough for Tomra was in 1974 where the Swedish entity Systembolaget ordered 100 RVMs.
1980s-2000s
TOMRA was listed in Oslo Børs and tried to secure a position in the American market to no avail. It was then successfully attempted to enter the market in 1990s. By 1999, sales in the US accounted for more than half of total revenues. In 2006, TOMRA delivered more than 8000 new reverse vending systems to Germany. TOMRA's sensor-based sorting technology business was first established in 2004 with the acquisition of TITECH, a leading provider of optical recognition and sorting technology. With the acquisition of Orwak in 2005, TOMRA established itself as a producer of compaction and baling solutions with an installed base of more than 67,000 balers.
2010-2016
Via several acquisitions, TOMRA had grown into a global company since the 2000s and secured 75% global market share in RVMs and 60% Material Recovery from Collection Solutions and 40%-65% in Sorting Solutions.
