Vecoplan AG has reported a successful 2024 despite challenging economic conditions. The Germany-based company, a specialist in machinery and systems for processing waste materials, maintained a stable market position, driven by increasing demand for sustainable recycling solutions.
“We are witnessing a significant shift in societal values, with greater awareness of sustainability and CO2 reduction, which is positively impacting our order intake,” said Werner Berens, CEO of Vecoplan AG. The global shortage of raw materials, stricter regulations, and mounting pressure on companies to reduce carbon emissions have contributed to the rising demand for Vecoplan’s solutions. Despite ongoing geopolitical instability, the company has maintained stable financial performance. “Through targeted investments and a clearly defined strategy, we have navigated the uncertainties of market fluctuations and order cycle volatility,” added CFO, Ina Hannen.
Innovation and workforce development drive growth
Vecoplan’s success in 2024 was supported by substantial investment in research, employee training, and new technologies. The company secured its first major contract for dry-cleaning technology and implemented a new ERP system to enhance operational efficiency. Vecoplan’s workforce, which has grown steadily in recent years, benefitted from an extensive training and development programme.
Looking ahead to 2025, the company plans further investments worth several million euros, including the expansion of its main facility in Bad Marienberg and the acquisition of new production tools and software. “With a strong focus on sustainability, continuous improvement of our solutions, and investment in our employees, we look to the coming year with great optimism,” concluded Mr Berens.
