Berlin, 17 August 2023 – A YPOG team co-led by Dr. Martin Schaper and Dr. Johannes Janning advised the Next Generation Group (NGH), on the acquisition of a majority stake in HydroDyn, a renowned technology provider specializing in plastic waste cleaning and purifying. The aim of the strategic partnership is to supply high quality recyclate for a wide range of applications in order to effectively substitute virgin plastics.
HydroDyn will maintain its operational independence in the future but will work closely with NGH and further group companies to make the most of potential synergies. The cooperation enables the companies to pool their competencies and resources to offer holistic and efficient plastics recycling solutions that meet the changing needs of customers.
The Austrian based NGH is driving the circular economy forward with its innovative technologies and is known for its state-of-the-art technologies. This takeover of a majority stake in HydroDyn further strengthens its position as a pioneer in the industry.
