Company acquisition – Aktid expands into Italy
A leading player in France in the design and construction of non-hazardous solid waste sorting installations, Aktid is expanding its activity into Italy through the acquisition of Italproget, an Italian engineering and manufacturing company specializing in the development of waste sorting facilities.
This partnership is the result of a long-standing relationship of trust between the two companies.
Pierre-André Payerne, President of Aktid, emphasizes: “Aktid and Italproget share the same core values of high standards and commitment.”
This acquisition is therefore a natural continuation of their close collaboration and shared principles.
With 60 employees and having doubled its turnover to reach €20 million in 2023, Italproget has established itself as a major player in the customized design of non-hazardous solid waste sorting installations.
The acquisition gives rise to Aktid Italia, combining Italproget’s in-depth knowledge of the Italian market with Aktid’s 28 years of experience, particularly in the construction of large-scale facilities and the development of specialized tools such as the Smart Solutions®.
Marco Crociani, CEO of Italproget, comments: “By leveraging Aktid’s technical know-how and technological innovations from its R&D, we will significantly boost our potential in Italy. Our teams are confident and motivated to accelerate the development of new joint projects in the Italian market!”
Pierre-André Payerne, President of Aktid, highlights the strategic importance of this operation for the company’s international expansion. This acquisition marks Aktid’s first major external growth initiative and strengthens its ambition to become a key player in the European market.
