The innova - tions presented at K 2022 put the group of com- panies – consisting of EREMA Group GmbH and its subsidiaries EREMA, PURE LOOP, UMAC, 3S, KEYCYCLE and PLASMAC – in a strong position for their planned ongoing growth. "With demand for recycled plastics remaining high, the past financial year brought many chal - lenges that we needed to handle," says Manfred Hackl, CEO of EREMA Group GmbH. The challeng- es included persistent delays in the supply chain and unexpected supplier outages. Logistics and production processes had to be adapted several times as a result. The situation has improved sig- nificantly meantime as a result of these measures and more stable supply chains. The production locations in Austria manu- factured 270 extruders and delivered them to customers around the globe. Taking the whole group into consideration, this figure rises to 350 including the extruders from PLASMAC, the Ital- ian subsidiary. The recycled pellet production ca- pacity of all extrusion systems delivered in finan - cial year 2022/23 adds up to around 1.6 million tonnes per year. On top of that there are around 130 additional components and modules such as filter systems and ReFresher anti-odour units. K 2022 – the highlight trade fair of the past fi - nancial year – saw the EREMA Group launch seven new recycling systems and components. "For the first time, we brought all the companies in the group together on one stand, so we were able to provide an excellent overview of our wide range of products and services with the latest innova- tions as a one-stop-shop concept," says Manfred Hackl. The beginning of the new financial year falls almost to the day on EREMA's 40th anniversary. On 14 April 1983, Helmut Bacher, Helmuth Schulz and Georg Wendelin founded EREMA Engineer- ing Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen GesmbH, laying the foundation for the 40-year success story. During this period, the founders and their successors, together with the company's employ- ees, have not only developed plastics recycling further, but have also made recycling possible in new applications, successfully making the jour- ney from working out of a garage to becoming the world market leader.
