ASK | Altpapier Sortierung Kinsau

What ASK | Altpapier Sortierung Kinsau does

ASK Altpapier Sortierung Kinsau GmbH is a privately held German recycling company (GmbH) headquartered and operating from a single facility at Bahnhofstraße 7, 86981 Kinsau, Bavaria. The company specializes in receiving, manually and mechanically sorting, and processing old paper (Altpapier) into pure, contamination-controlled fractions for return to the paper manufacturing industry. Its single-site facility processes approximately 600 tonnes of paper per day and holds Entsorgungsfachbetrieb (EfB) certification, the German sector-specific credential required to operate as a licensed waste management company. The business is managed by a small leadership team consisting of Managing Director Matthias Fisel, Technical Plant Manager Hermann Müller, and scale/dispatch lead Martina Rampp, with no disclosed external shareholders, parent company, or institutional investors.

The company's revenue model is a transaction-based, weight-driven processing fee: old paper is received from collectors and suppliers at the on-site scale (operating Monday–Thursday 07:00–15:30, Friday 07:00–13:30), sorted, and the resulting fractions are sold directly to paper mills. Distribution is exclusively domestic — single-country, Bavaria-focused — and formalized through documented loading instructions (Ladeanweisung) and behavioral guidelines for both inbound suppliers and outbound haulers. The customer base is concentrated within the German paper manufacturing industry, with no named end-buyer logos disclosed. The company's commercial footprint is essentially offline: marketing relies on industry reputation and occasional earned media (e.g., a 2018 Landsberger Tagblatt feature), there are no active social profiles, no APIs or integrations, and the careers page currently lists no open positions.

Capital deployment history is limited to a documented €220,000 investment in the Kinsau location in 2018, covering new administrative facilities alongside ongoing operations. There are no recorded funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, patents, trademarks, or awards in the available source material. The company presents as a mature, self-funded, single-asset industrial operator rather than a growth-stage or venture-backed business, with its competitive position resting on throughput capacity, regulatory compliance, and embedded regional relationships with paper mills and waste haulers.

Direct peers

• Remondis: One of the largest privately held recycling and waste-management companies in Germany and Europe, operating numerous MRFs and recovered-paper sorting facilities. Directly comparable to ASK as a German recovered-paper sorting operator with industrial mill customers.
• Alba Group: German recycling and raw materials company operating sorting facilities and supplying recovered materials to industrial buyers, including paper mills. Directly comparable as a horizontally diversified German materials recovery operator.
• Interzero (formerly Interseroh): German circular-economy services company running recycling and materials-recovery operations, including recovered paper. Comparable as a German MRF operator with downstream industrial offtake relationships.
• Tönsmeier: German waste management and recycling company operating sorting facilities and serving industrial customers with recovered raw materials. Directly comparable to ASK as a regional recovered-paper processor.
• Strate Recycling: German recycling group operating materials recovery and sorting operations across multiple sites. Comparable to ASK as a German recovered-materials processor serving industrial buyers, though with broader commodity coverage.

Broad incumbents

• PreZero: Recycling and environmental services arm of the Schwarz Group, operating large-scale MRFs and recovered-material supply across Europe. Comparable as a much larger incumbent recovered-paper competitor and potential acquirer.
• Veolia Umweltservice: German subsidiary of Veolia operating waste management and materials recovery facilities at significant scale. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the German recovered-materials space, though much larger and more diversified than ASK.

Others

• Duales System Deutschland (Der Grüne Punkt): Operator of Germany's packaging recycling system (Green Dot), coordinating collection and sorting of light packaging including paper fractions. Adjacent comparator as a system-level organizer of paper-recycling flows in Germany.
• Papierfabrik Palm: One of Europe's largest paper manufacturers with German production, a natural buyer of sorted recovered paper. Not a direct competitor but a representative downstream customer peer for ASK's output.
• Sülzle Gruppe: German family-owned group with activities in metals recycling, scrap processing and material recovery. Adjacent comparator in the broader German materials-recovery landscape, though primarily metals rather than paper.
