PiovanGroup's strengthening continues with further expansion into Germany, Europe's reference market for plastics by supporting German ProTec's systems - ensuring continuity and qualified assistance to some of the company's customers.

PiovanGroup acquires a selection of assets of German competitor Protec Polymer Processing GmbH ("Protec"), an international supplier of systems for the plastics industry, currently in receivership.

The transaction involves certain assets previously belonging to material handling, dosing and Recycling divisions - markets where the PiovanGroup itself operates and is world leader in the production of systems for automating production processes with plastic, recycled plastic and bio-plastic materials.

The transaction will take place through the controlled FDM with the triple purpose of: increasing the Service/post-sale activities, offering customers upgrades and retrofits of old Protec systems with new PiovanGroup solutions, and supporting joint customers in the difficult situation caused by the bankruptcy proceedings of ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH.

PiovanGroup, which is actively engaged in the development of products and solutions dedicated to the recycling and circular economy supply chain, going forward will also supply Protec’s solutions in the recycling field, such as plastic regeneration and crystallization.

In line with the group strategy the transaction strengthens the PiovanGroup's presence in the German market and in the key strategic segment of after sales services.

Protec, previously Somos, is among the oldest European companies operating in automation for plastic and recycle plastic industry with a large installed base of unique solutions and a well-established customer base. – says Filippo Zuppichin, CEO of PiovanGroupIt is a great honour and responsibility for PiovanGroup and FDM to continue such an important tradition and offer their customers the possibility of enjoying such a long technological partnership.”
