NOVO-TECH

What NOVO-TECH does

NOVO-TECH GmbH is a German manufacturer of wood-polymer composite materials headquartered in Aschersleben, Saxony-Anhalt. Founded in 2005 with production starting in 2007, the company developed and patented German Compact Composite (GCC), a polymer-bound natural fiber material with up to 75% natural fiber content, extruded into terrace decking, facade elements, fence systems, and construction wood under the megawood (premium), EasyDeck (building materials trade), and torroTIMBER (France/Southern/Eastern Europe) brands. Production capacity is approximately 35,000 tons per year across a 40,000 m² Aschersleben campus operating with 150-160+ employees.

The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning compounding, extrusion, injection molding, large-format 3D printing, metal processing, tool construction, and plant/machinery engineering, with the latter offered externally to third parties in partnership with AVA Magdeburg. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of branded GCC products via specialist wood trade and building materials trade channels, plus custom compound granulate supply to European industrial customers, contract metalworking and machinery services, and a circular-economy take-back and recycling service operated through NOVO-TECH Circular GmbH & Co. KG (wind turbine blade recycling). Certifications include Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold (GCC HOLZart Platinum in material health), PEFC, ISO 9001, and ISO 50001.

NOVO-TECH is privately held and founder-controlled, with Dipl.-Ing. Holger Sasse as founder and managing director and Dipl.-Kfm. Martin Erfurt as co-managing director. Ownership is concentrated among the founding family; no external institutional investor is evidenced. The legal structure spans four wholly-owned entities (NOVO-TECH Trading as the primary operating entity, plus Circular, TOOL CONSTRUCTION, TECHNIC SOLUTION, and a holding intermediate). The company serves end consumers and homeowners, craftsmen/contractors, architects and planners, and European industrial compound buyers; named brand-level case studies include public figures, banks, and cultural projects rather than recurring anchor customers.
