The HIM GmbH (until 2000: Hessian industrial waste GmbH ) is part of the circular economy with headquarters in Biebesheim am Rhein in Gross-Gerau district in Hesse . Due to the obligation to sell in Hessen, it is responsible for the disposal of all hazardous waste arising in Hessen , including from industrial production.
history
The company was founded in 1975 as Hessische Industriemüll GmbH and built a hazardous waste incineration plant in Biebesheim in 1982 . On May 6, 1986 there was an explosion in the facility due to a highly flammable gas-air mixture. The damage amounted to at least one million DM and operations had to be shut down for several weeks. From 1994 to 1997, HIM modernized the plant in Biebesheim and achieved an incineration capacity of around 130,000 t annually. HIM operates other plants for the disposal and recycling of hazardous waste in Kassel , Frankfurt am Main , Stuttgart and in Billigheim near Heilbronn . In addition, HIM has been involved in the remediation of contaminated sites on behalf of the State of Hesse since 1989.
Since the takeover of the special waste disposal Baden-Württemberg GmbH (SBW) with plants in Stuttgart and Billigheim in 2000, the company has been trading as HIM GmbH. Until 2006, the owners of HIM were the state of Hesse (28.05% or € 8,308,493.07) and 13 other shareholders (including E.ON Kraftwerke Beteiligungs-GmbH with 35.22%, which also belongs to E.ON. EAM Energie AG with 5.96% and from the Hoechst AG resulting Infraserv Verwaltungs-GmbH with 16.31%).
In 2006, the state of Hesse and other shareholders sold their shares to the Hamburg financial investor Arcadia. This brought HIM together with AVG Abfall-Verwertungs-Gesellschaft mbH (Hamburg) under a holding company. AVG operates a hazardous waste incineration plant in Hamburg-Tiefstack with an annual capacity of around 100,000 t.
In 2007 the company achieved sales of almost 100 million euros with around 352 employees.
On August 1, 2008, SAV-Beteiligungs GmbH, to which HIM GmbH belonged, was sold to the Belgian Indaver Group based in Mechelen (51%) and to the Dutch NIBC European Infrastructure Fund (49%). The parties involved, the previous owner of SAV, the Hamburg financial investor Arcadia and E.ON Kraftwerke GmbH, did not provide any information about the purchase price.
Holdings
In addition to and above all to support its own activities, HIM holds stakes in the following companies: Frassur GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, GVS Gesellschaft für die Auswertung von Sonderabfälle mbH & Co KG, Mannheim , GVS Verwaltungsgesellschaft für die Sonderabfälle mbH, Mannheim, Panse Wetzlar Disposal GmbH, Wetzlar and HIMTECH GmbH, Wiesbaden (no more operational business).
