With the acquisition of an Italian company at the end of 2023, Aktid becomes a group. Renowned for its expertise in the French market, the company is pursuing its international expansion, in Europe and across the Atlantic, supported by a dedicated export team. This expansion is a reflection of its determination to meet the major global challenges of waste management.
“I am convinced that only businesses and the collective intelligence that they give rise to have the power to boost the economy by creating shared wealth in a way that respects the environment. I also know that a company can only spread its wings if it has the means to do so. That’s why it has to perform at the highest level. Today, we are an industrial company committed to its values: the quest for outstanding performance is what makes us what we are and all our actions are guided by our environmental convictions, anchored in our values of unity, high standards, constant improvement, ambition and determination.
Our solid foundations in France mean that we can confidently export our business internationally. We are determined to continue to grow both individually and collectively, working closely with all our stakeholders and with a fierce determination to limit our carbon footprint. Our customers, both national and international, are the focus of our attention and we are proud to accompany them in the search for solutions that harmonise closely with our core aim: To grow together by transforming waste into a sustainable resource.”
