Lindner Washtech, based in Feistritz/Drau, Austria, and Großbottwar, Germany, is renowned worldwide for its complete systems that incorporate the shredding, sorting, washing and drying of a wide range of plastic types. In the past few years the company has predominantly focused on optimising the process along the value-added chain and new concepts for cleaning methods. With the goal of optimising the entire process chain in plastics recycling, a collaboration was initiated with the Erema Group. The close cooperation between Lindner Washtech and Erema since the start of 2023 has already produced significant process optimisations.
Besides the technical progress, a new chapter has also begun at Lindner Washtech at the managerial level. Harald Hoffmann passed on sole management of the company in January 2025 to Georg Krenn, who has been Managing Director at Lindner Washtech Engineering for the past 10 years. “In Georg Krenn, the company gains an experienced manager who has worked at Lindner Washtech since the very start. As Head of the Research and Development department he co-developed a substantial part of our product portfolio and knows our customers and the global recycling market extremely well,” Harald Hoffmann explains. Hoffmann himself will be supporting customers around the world together with the sales team and continue to advance Lindner washing systems and lines with regard to process optimisation, equal- and upcycling. “Harald Hoffmann has sustainably shaped the plastics industry with his ideas and strategic direction, driving the positive development of the brand,” says Manuel Lindner, owner and recycling pioneer for the company of the same name. “We are delighted that Harald will continue to be a permanent part of our team with his expertise and knowledge of the market in his role of Senior Advisor Global Sales.”
