Game-changing company-foundation in the field of tank construction
EnviTec-Greten Behälterbau scores with multi-year experience
Lohne, 07 May 2013 – To pool strengths and make better use of potential synergies in the agricultural-related field of tank-construction – that is the goal of EnviTec – Greten Behälterbau GmbH & Co. KG, which was founded on 28 March 2013. The newly-formed company, which is headquartered in Lohne in Lower Saxony, aims to introduce tanks that are both economical and more competitive into the market. The new company emerged from the close cooperation that took place between Alfons Greten Betonwerk GmbH & Co. KG and EnviTec Biogas AG, both of which have been successful in their respective segments.
‘As a company that has been one of Europe’s sector leaders in the field of plant-construction for more than ten years, we have proven that success and sustainability are not coincidences’, says Lars von Lehmden, who is the business manager in charge of project development at EnviTec Biogas. When it comes to the field of tank construction, the company from Lower Saxony that builds biogas plants has been banking on the multi-year experience and reliability of Alfons Greten Betonwerk GmbH & Co. KG ever since it was founded – ‘That was when we started thinking about collaborating at an even closer level’, says Alfons Greten, who, along with Lars von Lehmden, leads the business operations of the newly-formed company.
Thanks to the simultaneous entry into the market, the company expects the order-situation to be stable throughout the first year. The employees of EnviTec – Greten Behälterbau are expected to be selected from the fields of assembly, construction management and structural analysis, all of which were previously within EnviTec’s sphere of responsibility. ‘Furthermore, we are planning to hire new employees who can help us reach our goal of becoming the market leader’, explains Alfons Greten. Greten Behälterbau is to be responsible for marketing the products. It is also to be responsible for the domain of payroll accounting, while EnviTec is to be responsible for the domain of financial accounting. The founding of the new company is not expected to result in any changes in the workforce.
