The Nehlsen AG is a German waste management company with headquarters in Bremen . It is both the management company and the highest level of consolidation in the Nehlsen Group .
history
In 1923 Karl Nehlsen founded a haulage business in Bremen-Grohn, which he operated with horse and cart. Because of the poor disposal situation, the disposal services for the city of Vegesack were put out to tender. Nehlsen took over this at the end of 1928. In the 1930s, waste from private households, from commercial buildings and public buildings was removed. With the territorial reform of 1939, the area to be disposed of increased.
After the Second World War, the garbage collection was carried out with new special vehicles, which could be obtained despite difficult circumstances. In 1949 the oldest son of the company founder, Dieter Nehlsen, joined the company and expanded it to include long-distance freight transport.
Several branches were established in the 1970s. Nehlsen operated its own sorting and composting plants and took over the systematic disposal of ship waste, which Nehlsen introduced in the Bremen ports.
After reunification, Nehlsen invested in the new federal states. New branches were created. Internationally, Nehlsen is active in Angola, Eastern European countries and Asia. At the beginning of the 1990s, Nehlsen became a partner of the Dual System Deutschland .
In mid-2001 the former holding company was converted into a stock corporation. Peter Hoffmeyer, who is also President of the Federal Association of the German Waste Management Industry from 2004 to 2008, became Chairman of the Management Board . Hoffmeyer has also been a member of the Presidium of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) since 2006.
