AFTER SEEKING NEW INVESTORS THIS SUMMER TO ACCELERATE ITS INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AKTID IS MOVING TO A NEW LEVEL.

Aktid, France’s leading designer and builder of sorting facilities for non-hazardous solid waste, is expanding its business in Italy through the acquisition of Italproget, an Italian engineering and production company specialising in the construction of waste sorting centres.
This union is the result of a relationship of trust built up over many years between the two companies. Pierre-André Payerne, Chairman of Aktid, explains: “Aktid and Italproget share the same fundamental values of high standards and respect for commitments”. This acquisition is a natural extension of this close relationship and their shared values.
With 60 employees and having doubled its turnover to €20 million in 2023, Italproget is a major player in the custom design of non-hazardous solid waste sorting facilities.
This acquisition gives birth to Aktid Italia, which benefits from Italproget’s in-depth expertise of the Italian market and Aktid’s 28 years of experience, particularly in the construction of large-scale facilities and the development of specialised tools such as the Smart Solution®.
“By making use of the technical know-how and technological innovations of Aktid’s R&D, we will be able to increase our potential in Italy tenfold. The teams are full of confidence and highly motivated to accelerate the development of new joint projects in the Italian market!” explains Marco Crociani.
Pierre-André Payerne, Chairman of Aktid, emphasises the strategic importance of this transaction for the company’s international expansion. This acquisition marks the first major step in Aktid’s external growth and reinforces its ambition to conquer the European market.
