Herhof GmbH

The Herhof technology has been successful for more than 20 years and was developed by Herhof-Umwelttechnik GmbH which is no longer in operation. Herhof GmbH took over its essential business operations and kept on a large number of the employees. Using the Herhof patents it is therefore able to continue benefitting from the Herhof patent rights and technical experience. There are more than 40 Herhof composting plants and seven Herhof Stabilat^® plants worldwide. Each one of these plants works reliably, efficiently and economically. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

In addition to five plants in Germany there are also two comparable MBS plants in Geel, Belgium and in Fusina, district of Venice, Italy. In Fusina, a Herhof composting plant was combined with a Herhof-Stabilat^® plant. Since the beginning of 2002, 80,000 t of separately collected organic waste from the lagoon city of Venice are processed there annually, and 150,000 t residual waste are mechanically and biologically treated there as well. Another MBS plant went into operation in Belgium in the middle of 2006 and processes 150,000 t of waste every year.

The design of the household waste composting plant in Almagro, Spain, that began operation in 1999, deserves special attention. Herhof compost as well as Stabilat^® is produced there from 28,000 t of household waste.
