The increasing importance of environmental protection and resource conservation is creating ever greater interest and demand for innovative technologies for processing secondary and primary raw materials, and for the utilisation of renewable energy.

No matter what the customer's task, which machines or systems are to be used - Vecoplan AG guarantees fast, reliable and comprehensive service at all times through independent subsidiaries in the USA, Great Britain, Austria, Poland, Italy and Spain as well as through numerous sales and service locations around the globe

Vecoplan Group draws a positive balance

The Vecoplan Group can look back on a successful financial year 2024, despite the difficult economic situation. The company, which specialises in machines and plants for the processing of waste materials, was able to hold its own, irrespective of the tough economic conditions. The continued high demand for sustainable recycling solutions is one of the main factors that are also keeping the company on course for growth today.

The MBS plant in Westerwald relies on high-performance processing from Vecoplan

The Westerwald MBS plant serves as a treatment plant for regional household and household-type commercial waste. Included among several by-products is an ecological secondary fuel for power and cement plants, known as dry stabilate. Right from the outset, the company has relied on a robust and reliable complete system comprising conveyor technology and pre- and post-shredding from Vecoplan. As part of a general overhaul, one of the Vecoplan shredders was successfully replaced after 16 years.

Vecoplan takes part in the international SDG Innovation Accelerator programme

How can companies position themselves more sustainably and in this way make a meaningful contribution not only to themselves and their customers, but also to society at large? The UN Global Compact Network Germany offers its members the opportunity to promote young talent from their own ranks and thereby implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. A team of five Vecoplan employees took part in the programme.

Optimising shredding processes by utilising new technical features

Vecoplan is continually developing solutions to make shredding processes more efficient. This can be seen in a number of innovative technical features. Most important, the company is placing increasing emphasis on digitalisation. Data can be used for reliable monitoring of processes and automation of work steps. This helps operators to avoid errors that arise when shredders are set manually. It boosts the performance of the machines and extends their service lives.

Daniel Dittmann is the new Head of Operations

On 1 May 2024 Daniel Dittmann was appointed Head of Operations at Vecoplan. In this role the 33-year-old will be responsible for planning, managing and monitoring a variety of work processes, including production, work scheduling, warehousing & dispatch, and facility management. Another responsibility will be the training of junior staff in technical occupations.

Vecoplan enters into strategic partnership in the field of plastic recycling:

Vecoplan supports processors in implementing the circular economy. Europe wants to be climate-neutral by 2050. The circular economy for plastics makes an important contribution. The core element of the EU directive on packaging and packaging waste is the recycling rate. By 2025, member states must recycle at least 65% of their packaging waste. By 2030, the quota will increase to 70 percent.

Vecoplan replaces its 30-year-old shredder with a VHZ 800 at Löhr’s door manufacturing company:

Master carpenter Markus Löhr has transformed his family business from a traditional carpentry workshop into a door manufacturing facility. Customers receive high-quality, impressive, one-of-a-kind pieces made from historical wood. The residual wood leftover from production is used by the business for heat generation. For the necessary shredding, Löhr relied on a dependable Vecoplan shredder for 30 years. Vecoplan has now replaced the aging system with a new VHZ 800 equipped with a feed hopper.

Vecoplan records its most successful year in company history again in 2023

In 2023, the Vecoplan Group celebrated its fourth consecutive record year, despite the challenging global market situation. For the provider of machinery and systems for the processing and handling of primary and secondary raw materials for material and thermal recycling, this forms the basis to continue pursuing the growth trajectory.
