With Lafayette, Ferro Duo has gained an experienced partner with an international network, which will accompany the next growth phase and drive the implementation of the extensive project pipeline both nationally and internationally. Ferro Duo’s range of offerings enables industrial customers to make significant progress in CO₂ reduction, provide sustainable raw materials for the cement, steel, and chemical industries, and improve global waste reduction.

With innovative solutions for the treatment of hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, the utilization of mineral by-products, and the environmentally sound disposal of non-recyclable materials, the group makes a decisive contribution to sustainable value chains. In addition to its existing business, Ferro Duo is increasingly focusing on future-oriented projects, with the first applications, including recycling plants in Duisburg, already underway. Further projects are being planned and will be implemented directly at national and international customer sites to specifically address issues such as CO₂ reduction, resource and water conservation, and waste minimization in various industries.
Alexander Kehrmann, Managing Partner of Ferro Duo GmbH, emphasizes: “With this partnership, Ferro Duo can introduce technologies developed over a decade on a large scale to our customers to meet the urgent need for sustainable and low-CO₂ resources while reducing Europe’s dependency on global supply chains. Together with Lafayette, we are not only contributing to sustainability and the circular economy but also strengthening Europe’s global competitiveness. The combination of a financially strong partner and a forward-looking technology platform creates excellent prospects and scaling opportunities.”
