Wincor Nixdorf bulks up reverse vending
April 22, 2007
PADERBORN, Germany - Wincor Nixdorf AGis expanding its capacity levels for the development and production of reverse-vending systems deployed within the retail sector.
According to a news release, Wincor expects by fall 2007 to open a new production facility in Ilmenau/Thuringia, Germany.
"Having achieved our target of 30 percent market share within the area of reverse-vending systems deployed by retailers in Germany, we are now looking to extend our position and gain forward momentum in the international arena," said Eckard Heidloff, Wincor Nixdorf's chief executive.
Heidloff said the company's reverse-vending efforts have been bolstered by new orders for more than 500 reverse-vending systems for German-based retailers and companies in Scandinavia, where several retailers are involved in large-scale reverse-vending pilots.
In Germany, a regulatory mandate governing the return of empty beverage containers took effect in May 2006. Under the legislation, retailers and wholesalers that sell beverage cans as well as PET or disposable bottles are obliged to accept empty containers sold within their stores or by other retailers.
The company's reverse-vending operations are overseen by independent subsidiary, Wincor Nixdorf Technology GmbH, which is based in Ilmenau.
