Grupa Recykl Expands Europe Footprint with Baltic Acquisition

Polish tyre-recycling specialist Grupa Recykl has closed its purchase of Lithuanian logistics firm APG, unlocking access to Baltic and Scandinavian end-of-life tyre flows. Backed by a €6 million foreign-expansion loan from PFR TFI, the company now expects to finalise a second deal in Germany during H2 2025, strengthening its pan-European collection network and processing capacity.

Strategic Push into Scandinavia

• APG currently moves used tyres across Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, around 200,000 tonnes a year by Grupa Recykl estimates.
• Management is assessing a modern recycling plant in the region to shorten transport routes and capture local value.

“Looking more strategically, we want to systematically strengthen our market position on the map of Europe and increase export sales, including to other continents,” said CEO Maciej Jasiewicz.

German Acquisition on the Horizon

Due-diligence on an unnamed German target is complete, with final terms expected “in the second half of 2025,” according to company sources. A successful closing would:

• expand inbound feedstock,
• provide a Western Europe base for premium crumb exports, and
• balance currency risk inside the eurozone.

Financing the Growth

The €6 million facility from PFR TFI underpins the twin acquisitions and future capital spending.

Investing in Sustainable Capacity

Grupa Recykl already processes 140,000 tonnes annually at Polish sites. Recent upgrades include:

• the expanded solar PV farm in Śrem, supporting zero-carbon power for granulation lines.
• a planned solar array in Krosno Odrzańskie slated for 2026.

“We need to develop, think and realise expansion and set new goals, even though the market environment is not easy,” Jasiewicz added. “gaining access to new markets we can obtain raw material on more favourable terms and increase processing volumes.”
