Challenge
Rani Plast has had difficulty finding process operators with plastics industry experience for its production facility in Teerijärvi, Finland. Ready-made specialists are practically unavailable in the labor market, as the specialized expertise required in the plastics industry is acquired on the job, which prolongs recruitment processes.
Solution
With Barona’s help, Rani Plast quickly found experienced process industry professionals from the Philippines. The new employees have prior experience in the field, which has made onboarding smooth. Barona managed the entire recruitment project — from finding candidates and conducting recruitments to applying for work permits and welcoming the new employees to Finland.
Rani Plast, a family-owned international company operating in the plastics industry, has recruited Filipino process operators through Barona. The collaboration with Barona began in early 2024, when the company wanted to explore skilled labor from abroad. With Barona’s help, the right professionals were found quickly, and four months after the start of the collaboration, the first Filipino process industry specialists were already working at the production facility.
– Barona helped us find experienced process operators from the Philippines. We went with this solution because it is difficult to find suitable candidates for these roles in Finland, says Rani Plast’s Production Manager Jan Knutar.
At the start of the project, the company and Barona went through the requirements set for the employees, and Barona began searching for suitable international industrial workers. Professionals were found in the Philippines, where there are numerous plastics and process industry companies. In the end, it took four months from the project’s kickoff to the new employees starting work at the production facility.
– We were surprised by how quickly and efficiently they managed to find such skilled workers, Knutar continues.

International Professionals Strengthen the Work Community
The first Filipino employees arrived in Finland just four months after the start of the recruitment process. According to Production Manager Jan Knutar, the Filipino employees have adapted excellently to Finland and quickly settled into their roles.
– The new employees have been welcomed very warmly by the work community. Their prior experience in similar positions has made onboarding smooth, says Knutar.
The Filipino workers have proven to be energetic and motivated, bringing needed professional expertise to the team.
Rani Plast has been satisfied with its decision to begin international recruitment in collaboration with Barona, and the company’s future plans include continuing to recruit international industrial professionals going forward.
– International recruitment with Barona went really well and quickly. I warmly recommend Barona to other companies considering hiring from abroad. Don’t hesitate, recruit boldly from overseas,” Knutar concludes
We received a complete solution from Barona for international recruitment. They helped us with recruitment, employee settlement, and cultural training.
