EnviTec France records increased demand

Serving the growing French market faster – this was the motto of the investment in an in-house laboratory by EnviTec Biogas France SARL in the summer of 2022. “The decision to offer our French customers an efficient and, above all, time-saving analysis on site was exactly right,” sums up Martin Brinkmann, Managing Director of EnviTec Service GmbH. The laboratory is well utilised and overall the signs for 2023 are pointing to growth, despite the expiry of the existing feed-in tariff.

“We are planning a building extension for our sales office at the Le Meux site,” Brinkmann continues. In France, too, the volume of enquiries has increased with the start of the debate about dependence on Russian gas. In order to be even closer to the French market, the company has therefore appointed two French colleagues to the management team of the biogas all-rounder as managing directors. Laurent Bigonski has been responsible for service since the beginning of the year, Mehdy Benyahia for plant construction. “This means that two engineers are strengthening our management team and advancing the operational business with their expertise and team spirit,” Christian Ernst, Managing Director of EnviTec Biogas France SARL, added. While Benyahia had been active as Sales Manager at EnviTec since 2015, Bigonski joined the EnviTec team in 2020 as Project Manager. “Both of them have the EnviTec gene in them, a great sense of collegiality, innovative strength and service awareness,” Christian Ernst is pleased to say.

The biogas plant manufacturer from Lower Saxony currently has 43 plants built in Europe’s largest agricultural nation – France – and five more are currently under construction. The majority of the plants are fed with waste and agricultural products, about 20 percent are plants that focus on regional value creation and recycling management by using residual materials as input. In the past two years, the French branch recorded an increase of 32 new plants of biogas plants with gas upgrading. “At the moment, we are advising many operators who want to expand their existing plants,” Ernst concludes. In addition to its service location in Le Meux, Arrondissement Compiègne, the sales and administration of EnviTec Biogas France SARL is located in Plédran, Brittany.
