Specialisation and USP
Mavitec’s specialization lies in transforming low-value or problematic waste streams into profitable and sustainable outputs. Its key USPs include:
- EcoChar Technology: A by-product of gasification used as soil improver and carbon sink
- Low Emission Footprint: Systems designed to comply with the strictest EU and international environmental standards
- High Energy Efficiency: Optimized heat recovery and energy input-to-output ratios
- Robust, Low-Maintenance Equipment: Engineered for continuous, 24/7 operations in harsh environments
The Paddle Depacker system, in particular, has become a leading choice across Europe for food waste depackaging due to its clean output and low maintenance requirements.
Financial Strength
As a privately held company, Mavitec does not publish detailed financials. However, the company’s expansion into over 40 countries, strong order book, and ongoing R&D investments indicate a solid financial foundation. Its operations span manufacturing in the Netherlands and strategic service hubs across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Mavitec has executed several large-scale rendering and gasification projects for major processors, municipal bodies, and food conglomerates, underlining its commercial credibility and financial stability.
