Sustainably successful together – Schütz and Bayern-Fass expand decades-long partnership

“We are very pleased to be taking this logical next step, building on our many years of close cooperation”, says Roland Straßburger, CEO at Schütz. “Acquiring this stake is another very important building block in our long-term strategy of continually expanding the closed loop economy model.” Johann Eigner, owner of the Bayern-Fass Group, adds: “We look back on a cooperation that has been exceptionally positive, and are proud that Schütz is now entering into an even closer relationship with Bayern-Fass. Our customers will benefit from this as we will be able to take our performance to the next level and support them with even more comprehensive solutions for the reconditioning and recycling of industrial packaging.”

Reconditioning IBCs has been a key component of the Bayern-Fass service portfolio since 1992. The close partnership with Schütz started in 2015, when Bayern-Fass became the first independent specialist company to be accepted into the Recobulk partner programme set up by the globally operating manufacturer of industrial packaging. Within this framework, the company adopted Schütz’s globally uniform process standards. As a result, the Schütz IBCs reconditioned by Bayern-Fass fully comply with Schütz Recobulk containers in terms of quality, safety and conformity.

With around 300 employees and four locations in Germany, the long-established company is now one of the leading reconditioners in Europe. Compliance with international standards document the company’s high quality standards: Bayern-Fass has been certified both as a specialist waste management company and for its outstanding quality and environmental management system.
