A binding agreement has been signed for the acquisition of Ambiente Energia, based in Schio near Vicenza and part of the Marzotto Group, through subsidiary Herambiente Servizi Industriali. This transaction further enlarges the range of waste recovery and treatment services offered to companies in one of the most dynamic areas of Italy.
Binding agreement for 100%. Closing within 1H 2025
The Hera Group continues to grow in the Northeast with the acquisition, from the Marzotto Group, of Ambiente Energia Srl, a company involved in industrial liquid waste treatment at its Schio (Vicenza) plant. This morning in Bologna, a binding agreement was signed for the acquisition of 100% of Ambiente Energia Srl, between Herambiente Servizi Industriali Srl (a subsidiary of Herambiente, which in turn is part of the Hera Group) and Manifattura Lane Gaetano Marzotto & Figli Spa. The acquisition will be closed within the first half of this year, following the usual conditions precedent for transactions of this kind.
Transaction in line with the Business Plan to 2028
This transaction is part of the Hera Group’s growth strategy in the Waste management area, as defined by the recently approved Business Plan to 2028, which indicates vertical integration as an important lever for the ongoing expansion and diversification of the set of plants, with positive impacts on profitability and market share.
More specifically, Ambiente Energia will extend Herambiente Servizi Industriali’s global waste management offer in one of the most productive and dynamic areas of Italy, where the Group is already well established with its subsidiaries Vallortigara in Torrebelvicino and Marano Vicentino (Vicenza), Aliplast in Ospedaletto d’Istrana (Treviso) and Recycla in Resana (Treviso) and Maniago (Pordenone).
A multipurpose plant with an annual capacity of over 120,000 tonnes
The Ambiente Energia plant, with an annual capacity of over 120,000 tonnes, thanks to its advanced technology, is able to treat numerous types of liquid waste and sludge, both hazardous and non-hazardous, such as paint and washing water, acids and bases, and water from chemical-physical treatments. This service is thus entirely geared towards the industrial districts of the Veneto region, including textiles, tanning, metalworking and eyewear. The purifier, which returns the water resources to surface water after treatment, has 41 storage tanks, a wastewater treatment line (both chemical-physical and biological) and a sludge treatment line.
The industrial added value of the agreement
This capacity will give Herambiente Servizi Industriali greater flexibility and capacity in putting together its waste management and recovery projects proposed to companies in the area. Existing Ambiente Energia customers will have access to the know-how of Herambiente and its subsidiaries to develop resource valorisation and circular economy projects, above and beyond the treatment of liquid waste and sludge.
Full employment continuity for Ambiente Energia resources
The transaction will see the maintenance of all current Ambiente Energia employees, thus ensuring full employment continuity and protection of the company’s technical and operational assets, benefitting customers.
Andrea Ramonda: “positive impact on cross-selling and synergies with the nearby Vallortigara”
“The acquisition of Ambiente Energia has strategic value,” explains Andrea Ramonda, CEO of Herambiente, “since it further expands our customer base in waste management services, with positive repercussions on cross-selling opportunities, which will also benefit from synergies with the nearby Vallortigara.”
