A Greener Future for Meka Pro Oy
For Meka Pro Oy, a Finnish family-owned company specializing in cable management systems, this partnership is a game changer. By incorporating SSAB’s fossil-free steel, Meka Pro Oy can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95% in its products.

Modular Design for Versatility and Sustainability
Meka products are known for their durability, high quality, and long service life. The modular design of these products enables the construction of flexible and versatile cable management systems, ensuring that sustainability is embedded not just in the materials, but also in the product’s design and functionality. The integration of fossil-free steel will only strengthen these characteristics, contributing to a longer lifecycle and enhanced quality.
Reducing the Carbon Footprint with Fossil-Free Raw Materials

The company’s future efforts will focus on further reducing its environmental impact by incorporating fossil-free raw materials into production.
