The Aschaffenburg-based companies Hensel Recycling and Weber GmbH are embarking on a new future together: With C. Hensel Holding and Hensel Recycling acquiring a stake in Weber GmbH, a strategic partnership is being established with the aim of pooling technological expertise, tapping into new markets and developing innovative solutions for the circular economy.
Both companies bring many years of expertise in complementary areas to the table: While Hensel Recycling is one of the world’s leading specialists in precious metal recycling, Weber has extensive experience in design, engineering, automation and the construction of customised machines and systems.
“With our new partners at our side, we see good conditions for further developing our existing know-how in a targeted manner and growing into future markets,” says Tamer Acicbe, Managing Director of Weber GmbH.
Strong synergies: mechanical engineering and recycling expertise go hand in hand
The collaboration focuses on combining the engineering and automation expertise of Weber GmbH with the recycling and process expertise of Hensel Recycling. The partnership creates the basis for innovative technical solutions – especially where automation and the circular economy interact.
- Weber gains access to new, high-growth fields of application related to recycling technologies and resource conservation.
- Hensel Recycling benefits from Weber’s strengths in mechanical engineering, design and automation development.
Together, the two companies will continue to develop complex dismantling and processing processes and rethink them from a technological perspective.
“With Weber, we can pool our expertise and develop innovative solutions – for example, for the efficient, semi-automated dismantling and sorting of modern components,” explains Andreas Friesen, Managing Director at Hensel Recycling GmbH.
Realignment and growth – beyond the automotive industry
The changed market conditions in the automotive industry make broader positioning necessary. The partnership gives Weber the opportunity to reduce existing dependencies and develop further in terms of technology and across industries.
“With our investment, we want to support Weber with our experience, network and guidance. Our goal is to strengthen the company, leverage its potential and work together to shape a stable, innovative future,” emphasises Clemens Hensel, owner of C. Hensel Holding. The aim is to create a powerful alliance that successfully combines plant engineering, automation and recycling expertise.
Looking ahead: joint projects in preparation
In the coming months, Hensel Recycling and Weber GmbH will jointly identify and prioritise specific projects and initiate the first development steps. The cooperation will support both companies in advancing future-proof technologies and tapping into new economic potential.
