MAUSER to start reconditioning Joint Venture in Spain
The MAUSER group, a leading producer of industrial packaging, enters into a strategic alliance with Mr José Enrique Sendil and EGMASA (EMPRESA DE GESTIÓN MEDIOAMBIENTAL S.A), by setting up two joint ventures: Arbiden (Aprovechamiento y Recuperación de Bidones y Envases), located in Sevilla in the South of Spain, and NCG IBERIA RECONDITIONING S.L., a company based in Barcelona in Eastern Spain.
Both joint ventures offer a full range of reconditioning services, ranging from recollection (regardless of manufacturer) to reconditioning, rebottling and recycling. They also offer recovery of feedstock through an inhouse washing and repelletizing process. Spanish customers can look forward to international quality standards at competitive prices.
By concluding this strategic alliance, MAUSER further extends its European reach. The move comes one year after MAUSER first entered the Iberian peninsula through the establishment of it’s joint venture MAUSER REYDE IBÉRICA S. L. which supplies the Spanish market with new IBCs. The addition of a reconditioning business is a perfect fit as it broadens MAUSER’s offering to the Spanish market. The new business will be vertically integrated through the existing joint venture.
MAUSER especially values the collaboration with EGMASA, an environmental agency owned by the regional government of Andalusia. The alliance with an environmental agency supports MAUSER’s longstanding commitment to protecting the environment. MAUSER has been dedicated to sustainability for many years, and is now taking this commitment one step further.
Mr Jose Enrique Sendil, General Manager of Hersen Cinco and Arbiden, will continue to run the business as Managing Director and bring his long professional experience into the NCG business. The joint venture will also benefit from the advantages provided by being part of the European NCG organization. The European NCG network already operates strategic sites in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, The Netherlands and Turkey. It has been expanding continuously over the last few years and recently started up operations also in France.
Peter Schaefer, Head of the Reconditioning Division at MAUSER Group, comments: “This recent acquisition further expands the range of services offered by NCG. It strenghens our position as a leading global collector and recycler of industrial packaging and allows us to meet the requirements of European customers, whereever they are, with regard to cost-effective recollection and re-use of IBCs and drums.”
Manuel José García Gómez, CEO of EGMASA, adds: “We look forward to working with a global, well established company like MAUSER, that offers innovative solutions to protect the environment, and develop a more powerful project highly valued in the south of Spain.“
