MTM plastics will continue its growth strategy in 2015. By the end of 2016, Europe’s leading producer of recycled polyolefins from mixed plastic waste plans will invest approximately 8 million euros in the expansion of its production facilities in Niedergebra, Germany.
Two more halls, which will extend the granulate warehouse, are under construction. MTM currently produces some 30,000 metric tons of granulate in Niedergebra with a workforce of 88. From 2016, approximately 110 employees will provide an output of nearly 40,000 tons. For the planned growth in sales, however, MTM will focus not only higher volumes but also on improved quality in order to gain a higher price for the granules. On completion of the new warehouses, MTM will shift its attention to enlarging the production area by some 20,000 square meters.
