REMONDIS has acquired the recycling operations of Baetsen Containers B.V., Baetsen Recycling B.V. and Baetsen Bouwstoffen & Sloopwerken B.V., with retroactive effect from 01 January 2019. Over the last few years, the Baetsen Group has become an important market player in its industry. With branches in Veldhoven, Son and Echt, the Group delivers its services to companies, private individuals and local authorities. Based in the south of the Netherlands, this family-run company operates in the areas of waste collection, recycling, transport, excavation and demolition work as well as crane hire. Each year, it handles around 175,000 tonnes of mixed construction waste, 100,000 tonnes of wood and 350,000 tonnes of mineral waste.
Following the signing of the contracts, Hans van Roosmalen, managing director of the Baetsen Group, explained why he was so pleased with this development: “We went through a very careful selection procedure before opting for REMONDIS. REMONDIS is a leading family-run business that will continue to invest in sustainable waste treatment systems. This is a good time to take the next step forward. We are proud to be able to move our successful company forward into this new phase – and to be able to continue operating our original activities. The future has been secured for our recycling businesses as well as for Baetsen Transport and Baetsen Kranen.”
Thanks to the takeover of Baetsen, REMONDIS will be able to strengthen its waste management and recycling activities in the south of the Netherlands. The acquisition also included taking over all 200 employees and several business locations in Noord-Brabant and Limburg with their 80+ vehicles. Dr Andreas Krawczik, managing director of REMONDIS Nederland, commented: “The Baetsen family’s long-standing operations are steeped in tradition. This – combined with its innovative spirit, customer orientation and performance capabilities – make it an ideal business for REMONDIS. We know that we will be able to continue to deliver the same high quality service. We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to acquire this large company in Noord-Brabant, which will enable us to provide our customers with an extensive range of services.”
