Willem van Bentum, founder and owner of REKO B.V. said “in over 40 years we have built up this company. When I started recycling mineral waste in the early eighties, I could never have imagined that this company could grow into something so big. At that time, we thought Amsterdam was already far away and 50,000 tons per year was already a lot. Now we already have several projects that are larger than 50,000 tonnes on their own and we receive mineral waste from all over Europe. Now the company is ready for the next step with further expansion. REKO will now become part of BPG, an internationally operating recycling group with strong market positions in Europe. They are also supported by strong international parties, who support BPG in its further growth and development. I look forward to working with the management of REKO and BPG to ensure a smooth transition of REKO within BPG as a basis for the further growth of my life’s work.” Navarre assisted on this challenging transaction.
