Our group of companies: true specialists who work together to offer all-round solutions.

Frictionless recycling chains with maximum added value

Each of our affiliated companies is a known quantity on the market. Depending on the specific assignment, the interaction between them is individually configured for our customers. This creates ideal value creation chains for tailor-made circular solutions that adhere to a simple principle: save CO₂, preserve raw materials.

Overview of our value creation cycle

Everything from a single source – our processes and our four areas of business adopt a holistic approach to ensure maximum quality at every point.

Our milestones – step by step to success

2003 – Establishment of energenta gmbh. Ten further incorporations and acquisitions to date.

2004 – Establishment of energenta ersatzbrennstoffe gmbh (joint venture: participating interest 50 %) – specialist in tailor-made alternative fuels and implementation of recycling cycles for all common industrially produced plastics.

2007 – Integration of emrec gmbh (joint venture: participating interest 33%) into the energenta Group – specialises in transforming unused production residues from the plastics- and paper-processing industries into high-grade, clean alternative fuels and feeding raw materials back into national and international production cycles.

2010/11 – Construction project and relocation to the new site in Ochtrup

2011 – Establishment of energenta polymers srl (Romania). Distribution of ground product, regranulates and new EPS. At the Ploiești site: manufacture of stud plate panels for underfloor heating from EPS and recycled PS.

2013 – Expansion of the manufacturing facilities at the Ochtrup site and construction of the new grinding plant.

2014 – Establishment of energenta recycling solutions gmbh – specialist in the treatment of plastics from the recycling of electrical and electronic devices as well as mixed ground product from the post-industry and post-consumer segments.

Construction of the new Dortmund site of emrec gmbh (joint venture: participating interest 33%)

2020 – Acquisition of Sysplast GmbH – manufacturer of high-quality, styrene-based regranulates and compounds as substitutes for new product, which saves resources, costs and CO₂. Sysplast was awarded the first Bavarian Resource Efficiency Prize in 2021.

2022 – Acquisition of KVG GmbH – manufacturer of high-quality PE and PP regranulates from homogeneous and clean production residues as substitutes for new product which are processed directly to make new products.

Experience as a competitive edge

The experience our affiliated companies gathered on the market for circular plastics systems benefits not only our customers and the environment: we are also happy to share it when it comes to defining quality criteria and processes that help set global standards. After all, this is a key prerequisite for driving development forward. For instance, our Group company Sysplast – which at the time was still the recycling centre of Grundig AG – developed criteria for the disposal of used electrical and electronic appliances as early as the mid-1970s that are still valid today. We are continuing along this path.
