In March 2017, REMONDIS Nederland BV acquired the recycling company Bruins & Kwast. Headquartered in Goor, in the eastern part of the Netherlands, Bruins & Kwast is a company specialised in the recycling of organic materials and the production of biofuels from organic refuse. The acquisition process was successfully completed and finalized in early March 2017. However, the transaction will be effective retroactively from the 1 January 2017.

Bruins & Kwast is specialised in the production of biofuels from vegetables, wood, sludge, and other high-calorie fractions. Moreover, the company creates various compost materials, and supplies both gardeners and the agricultural sector with soil products under the company’s own brand Noviterra. Going further, Bruins & Kwast provides for different types of services; such as gardening services, the collection of residual and green materials, the provision of collection containers and other logistic services.

The acquisition of Bruins & Kwast is yet another step forward for REMONDIS in the Netherlands. Upon signing the purchase agreement, Dr Andreas Krawczik, Managing Director of REMONDIS in the Netherlands, stated: “We are delighted to continue the tradition of the family business, and its customer-oriented solutions.

We are delighted with this new addition to the company portfolio in the Netherlands. With a larger service portfolio, we are convinced that we can provide the best possible services to our commercial and municipal clients in the Netherlands.”
