ARJES founds ARJES IMPAKTOR GmbH and takes over EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH
Since its foundation, ARJES has stood for innovative product developments in the field of industrial shredding technology as well as for a successful corporate strategy. Once again, the mechanical engineering company from Leimbach shows determination to satisfy the requirements of the recycling industry and its own growth course by sending out a strong signal to customers and business partners.
As a first step for better future development, ARJES plans to bundle its competencies even more effectively. Due to the consistently high demand and increasing competitive pressure in the mobile compact class sector, it was decided to establish a separate company for this purpose. From now on, under the leadership of the main shareholder, Mr. Norbert Hammel, and the new management, Mrs. Isabell Hammel, Mr. Hammel’s daughter, the core business of the diesel-mobile two-shaft shredder IMPAKTOR is covered by ARJES IMPAKTOR GmbH at the established location in Leimbach.
Furthermore, the existing premises were no longer adequate for further development and day-to-day business. New capacity-related solutions also had to be found for the EKOMAXX and TITAN product lines. For this reason, in recent months there have been several conversations with the company EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH and its shareholder, WELLE Environmental Group Co., Ltd. in Changzhou, China. The regional proximity, the decades of competence in the manufacture of two-shaft shredders, and the structural and logistic equipment of the location in Merkers fit perfectly with the expansion plans of ARJES GmbH.
“We can now say with pride and great pleasure that the very constructive talks have come to a successful conclusion for all parties. We would like to announce that ARJES GmbH has taken over 100% of the shares in EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH as well as the real estate and land of the company headquarters in Merkers with effect from April 1, 2023. In addition, all employees, consisting of around 50 qualified and experienced specialists, will continue to be employed,” says managing partner Thomas Hayn. EuRec is a medium-sized mechanical engineering company from Thuringia. Originally founded as a product of HAREMA (Hammel Recycling Maschinenbau GmbH), it has specialized in the manufacture of waste treatment technology since its origin in 1995.
In the next few weeks, ARJES GmbH intends to relocate its headquarters to the new location in Merkers. This includes the management, administration, engineering, service and manufacture of the entire product portfolio, with the exception of the mobile machine type IMPAKTOR. Aim of the acquisition of the company EuRec is specialization, standardization and, above all, the urgently needed increase in productivity. By the additional personnel and production capacity, ARJES can keep its delivery times significantly shorter in the future and continue to live up to its philosophy of offering recycling machines at the best price-performance ratio in the industry.
With dismissal of the former EuRec Environmental Technology GmbH management, Mr. Thomas Hayn was appointed as sole managing director of the company EuRec.
“Our aim is to maintain the EuRec brand, revitalize it, and make it competitive and successful. In this way, an addition to the ARJES product range will be offered and made available to the market through our approximately 50 sales partners worldwide,” explains Thomas Hayn further.
Since ARJES exclusively manufactures two-shaft shredders with asynchronous operation, machines of the EuRec brand will be offered with synchronous operation. The current EuRec product portfolio will undergo a revision and be updated in the coming months. Additionally, with WELLE Environmental Group Co., Ltd. in Changzhou, China, ARJES was able to secure a strong partner who will provide the company with strategic support and, with its sales partners, will act as the exclusive dealer for ARJES and EuRec in China and large parts of Southeast Asia in the future. On a license basis, the WELLE Group will manufacture the existing product range of EuRec machines at the company headquarters exclusively for the Chinese and Southeast Asian market.
