KÜTTNER and MARTIN to pool their expertise in the thermal treatment of sewage sludge to take on the global market
Based in Munich, Germany, KÜTTNER MARTIN Technology GmbH was jointly founded by Küttner and Martin. Each company will hold 50% and jointly manage the new company, which will specialize in the sale and construction of plants for the thermal treatment of municipal sewage sludge. A.Vaccani & Partner (AVP) introduced the two companies.
Our Associate Partner, Umore Group, just published an infographic “5 Facts of the M&A Market in China’s Environmental Industry 2017”
Umore’s findings indicate that after a 10-year growth, China’s environmental industry has entered into a mature phase with both the number and total value of M&A deals remaining stable. Privately owned enterprises impressed the industry with a number of large deals in 2017, while the investment activities of state-owned enterprises were restricted for policy reasons. The waste treatment industry, replacing water treatment, became the hottest field in China, although water treatment companies were still popular in cross-border deals.
