Promeco was founded in 1996 when Paolo Rebai, after the experience gained at his family’s construction company, decided to start a business on his own in environmental field, running ahead the market demand.

At that time the Maastricht Treaty put the protection of the environment as top purpose of European Community and many companies, public authorities and consumers begun to face the waste disposal problem in the name of a common sense of responsibility.

Thanks to the cooperation with company UTL from Vienna, long experienced engineering company in waste recycling plants, Promeco has gained experience and know-how in composting and anaerobic digestion fields. These plants were among the first of anaerobic digestion from OFMSW and have been the first plants commissioned to Promeco by SAAB in Salzburg, which were at that time an efficient example of processing and valorization of municipal and industrial waste both from technological point of view and location, that was perfectly impacted in the nearby town.

Promeco has continuously widened his range of products offered adding new plants and specializing in manufacturing of patented equipment which have been located both in Italy and abroad.

In year 2000 Promeco acquired the Swiss company Dokex, the worldwide known manufacturer of the Extruder®.

Consequently, the Extruder, which was a Swiss manufactured product, has undergone some innovations and became Italian under the name Promeco Extruder System®. It is still a machine of incomparable efficiency and versatility. Now the PES is successfully used in five different market segments and we manufacture about a dozen of pieces per year.

Besides this historical equipment, Promeco manufactures a wide range of machinery like single and double shafts shredders, air separators, briquetting machines, single and double screw extruders, squeezers and centrifuges, pre-treatment equipment for anaerobic digestion, processing lines for post-consumer plastics which place Promeco on the market both as manufacturer of single machinery and of complete turn-key plants (see “plants” on this website).

Promeco joined Chemical Recycling Europe in 2020, the association whose members offer innovative technology to endlessly recycle all plastic waste for a more sustainable and circular economy.
