Germany-based Steinert GmbH, which specializes in sensor sorting and magnetic separation for municipal solid waste, metal recycling and mining, recently acquired the MSort product line from Mogensen GmbH & Co. KG, based near Hamburg, Germany.
Along with the purchase, Steinert also is establishing a new subsidiary, Steinert MSort. The MSort product brand has been present in the global market for more than 20 years and has focused primarily on developing sorting systems for glass recycling, the processing of industrial minerals and other applications.
The Buchholz family, which owns Steinert, says in a news release they are pleased with the establishment of a new subsidiary that can offer additional sorting solutions, and have expanded the company’s portfolio to include translucency and double-sided detection using color and near-infrared (NIR).
“The expansion of the Steinert Group’s portfolio to include sorting systems for flat and hollow glass and aggregates for sorting industrial minerals for mining are just a few examples that are a plus for us,” Steinert CEO Peter Funke says. “The MSort brand from Mogensen is strong and complements our product range excellently. We look forward to working with the colleagues and thank our owners, the Buchholz family, who have made further growth possible.”
Hans Moormann and Marcus Wirtz, managing partners of the Joest Group, which owns Mogensen, say they know MSort is in good hands with Steinert.
“We are handing over the product line to a top company with a strong global sales and service network,” they say.
