Ricoplaza & Aaltovoima: Handcrafted food and genuine caring

Ricoplaza Oy, a traditional family business from Helsinki, has been bringing fresh, handmade deli products to the tables of Finns for over 25 years – and Aaltovoima has also been a part of its story.

The company's roots go back to 1998, when the father of current CEO Teemu Lindqvist founded Ricoplaza. Since then, the company has grown steadily and today it is known for its Eat & Enjoy brand. Ricoplaza produces fresh salads, sandwich products, wraps and other deli products by hand, which end up on the shelves of K- and S-group stores without additional storage – often just hours after production.

 

Handicraft at its heart – supported by cooperation

Ricoplaza makes no compromises. Each product is made with care and by hand – without conveyor belts or automated processes. The Key Flag mark on each product indicates domestic work and quality, and Aaltovoima employees have also been a part of it. The company employs around 30 people, several of whom have joined through Aaltovoima. “The collaboration works well – when employees are needed, they are found,” describes a representative of Ricoplaza.

 

The importance of employees is visible and palpable

Ricoplaza invests in its employees – it is not looking for a perfect CV but for the right attitude. This is also confirmed by Rishan Chamara, who originally worked at Ricoplaza through Aaltovoima:  

“I like that I get to do things by hand – the work never gets boring. The working atmosphere is good and the people are great. I am grateful to Aaltovoima, I recommend the place to everyone.”

The job does not require previous training, but a hygiene passport is important. Employees are supported in their everyday lives, and the company employs people from eight different cultures – a truly international and warm-hearted work community.

 

Looking to the future

Ricoplaza continues to grow: new products are launched annually and the aim is to expand the delivery area in the future. The company also hopes that the role of small producers in Finnish food culture will grow – responsibility and craftsmanship deserve a place in the hearts of consumers.

 

We at Aaltovoima are proud to be part of Ricoplaza's growth story – supporting Finnish work, genuine work and a good vibe.
