Remondis acquires Dutch environmental firm

Lünen, Germany-based Remondis has acquired the assets of Pleuger Techniek BV. Raymond Debrauwer, director of Eindhoven, Netherlands-based Pleuger, sees the acquisition as a positive development and continues to work at Pleuger, according to a news release issued by Remondis.

Pleuger Techniek, founded in 1962, focuses on the control and purification of community and industrial water. Pleuger has been supplying pumps and water systems to governments, industry and the offshore oil sector for 50 years. In addition, Pleuger installs, repairs and maintains the pumps and water systems for its customers. Its pumps are also used in geothermal heating applications and heat-cold storage.

“Remondis is the best partner in technical and commercial terms,” says Debrauwer. “The sale offers continuity and stability for both companies, but certainly also for the employees involved. Within Pleuger, we will continue to focus on our core business, where we can now make use of the wide expertise of the Remondis Group.”

Adds Dr. Andreas Krawczik, director of Remondis, “With the takeover of Pleuger, we made a conscious decision to expand our business activities in the south of the Netherlands. We are pleased that we can carry out service and maintenance work for many municipalities, water boards and contractors and will continue to do so in the future. Our companies have a lot of common ground, especially in the area of customer orientation and the high-quality requirements we set.”

Remondis, founded in 1934, describes itself as one of the world’s largest service providers in the areas of recycling, waste collection and wastewater treatment.
