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.
“We’re seeing a clear shift in public opinion towards greater awareness of sustainability and CO2 reduction, and it’s having a noticeable positive effect on our order situation,” explains Werner Berens, CEO of Vecoplan AG. The combination of a global shortage of resources, stricter legal requirements and increasing pressure on companies to improve their carbon footprints is leading to a growing demand for solutions such as those offered by Vecoplan. The company was able to maintain its financial results at a stable level, in spite of the ongoing tense geopolitical situation. “We’ve mastered the challenges posed by uncertain markets and volatile order cycles thanks to targeted investments and a clear strategy,” adds Ina Hannen, CFO of Vecoplan AG.
Focusing on new technologies and employee development
The company achieved these results not least through numerous investments in new technologies, as well as staff training and further education. New, innovative product developments secured sales even in the uncertain market situation. For example, Vecoplan has received its first major order for cleaning technology, including dry cleaning. The company also introduced a new ERP system to respond even more flexibly to customer requirements. The workforce has been continuously expanded in recent years and has benefited from extensive training and further education measures.
Vecoplan is planning further investments in the high single-digit millions range for 2025. These include the purchase of equipment and software as well as the expansion of Plant I at the main site in Bad Marienberg. “With our clear focus on sustainability and the further development of our solutions and our employees, we’re very confident about the coming financial year,” says Werner Berens.
