Saubermacher is expanding in Croatia
3KF is a family business founded in 2011 and based in Zagreb. The company trades in recyclable materials and specializes in the collection, sorting and processing of municipal and commercial waste such as packaging, biogenic waste, building rubble and substitute fuels. Around 50,000 tons of waste per year are manipulated in the Zagreb metropolitan area. In addition to Saubermacher, the Croatian company Trgo-Sirovina d.o.o. is new co-owner, which now holds 31 percent of 3KF. Trgo-Sirovina and Saubermacher have already been partners for many years in the joint venture Saubermacher EKP based in Split. The entire 3KF team will be taken over. The management consists of the previous manager Ognjen Poljak and Mislav Galić, managing director of Saubermacher EKP.
“With our new partnership, we are strengthening our presence in Croatia and consistently pursuing our growth strategy in Southeastern Europe,” says Ralf Mittermayr, CEO Saubermacher. We successfully re-entered Croatia around four years ago. The market offers a lot of potential due to the EU circular economy goals, the implementation of the landfill ban and the expansion of separate collection. In November 2023, the contracts for the public-private partnership (PPP) were signed with the second largest North Macedonian city, Tetovo. The collection of municipal waste has now started.
