The Austrian manufacturer Erema has achieved a record turnover figure of 115 million euros for the 2014-2015 fiscal year. This corresponds to a 21% and 20 million euro plus in turnover compared to the previous year. The turnover of the Erema Group as a whole with 480 employees in total (Erema, Pure Loop and 3S) rose to 130 million euros. This result shows that the Austrian manufacturer of recycling systems is continuing the positive course of previous years. "This growth is due primarily to the new Intarema plant generation and confirms that this innovation represents an attractive technology for customers", explains Erema CEO Manfred Hackl. Together with 3S and the subsidiary Erema North America (Massachusetts), Erema has been pursuing a consistent and sustainable growth strategy for a number of years. This also has an impact on group turnover.

“This success is supported above all by the new Intarema plant generation with 245 recycling systems sold already at the location in Ansfelden since the system was launched 18 months ago. Thanks to Counter Current technology, Intarema is exceptionally flexible and productive. The system adapts in an optimum way to the broad spectrum of recycling applications which means that demand is constantly high”, explains Hackl.

Erema announced its continuing expansion at the beginning of the year with the foundation of the new sister company Pure Loop. In terms of strategy, Pure Loop as the sister company of Erema pursues the clear positioning in the market and further development of the shredder-extruder technology while Erema as a group intensifies its range of services in the field of in-house recycling. The next expansion is now following: Erema North America is more than doubling the size of its trial centre due to high demand - especially in the post consumer recycling sector. The trial centre will be extended to 2,400 sqm in total featuring four recycling systems for test runs. The expansion is scheduled for completion in late summer 2015. Sister company 3S has also expanded in the 2014-2015 financial year. The new premises have been extended by 4,000 sqm to a total of 7,000 sqm production space and the number of employees has risen from 60 to 68 compared to the previous financial year.
