Lindner Washtech Introduces New Leadership for a Sustainable Future
The Lindner Group’s owner, Manuel Lindner, and Harald Hoffmann established Lindner Washtech in the fall of 2013. The company became one of the major players in plastics recycling because of Hoffmann’s idea of creating comprehensive solutions for processing plastics. Since 2023, the company has been in a cooperation with the Erema Group. Georg Krenn became Lindner Washtech’s sole manager in January 2025. As a Senior Advisor Global Sales, Harald Hoffmann continues to be a permanent member of the organization, offering his experience and knowledge.
Lindner Washtech, based in Feistritz/Drau, Austria, and Grossbottwar, Germany, is renowned worldwide for its complete systems that incorporate the shredding, sorting, washing and drying of a wide range of plastic types. An industry leader with more than 200 washing systems installed around the world, in the past few years the company has predominantly focused on optimizing the process along the value-added chain and new concepts for cleaning methods. With the goal of optimizing the entire process chain in plastics recycling, a collaboration was initiated with the Erema Group, an industry leader in the extrusion of polyolefins. The close cooperation between Lindner Washtech and Erema since the start of 2023 has already produced significant process optimizations.
Besides the technical progress, a new chapter has also begun at Lindner Washtech at the managerial level. Harald Hoffmann, founder, visionary and driving force, passed on sole management of the company in January 2025 to Georg Krenn, who has been Managing Director at Lindner Washtech Engineering for the past 10 years. “In Georg Krenn, the company gains an experienced manager who has worked at Lindner Washtech since the very start. As Head of the Research and Development department he co-developed a substantial part of our product portfolio and knows our customers and the global recycling market extremely well,” Harald Hoffmann explains. Hoffmann himself will be supporting customers around the world together with the sales team and continue to advance Lindner washing systems and lines with regard to process optimization, equal- and upcycling. “Harald Hoffmann has sustainably shaped the plastics industry with his ideas and strategic direction, driving the positive development of the brand,” says Manuel Lindner, owner and recycling pioneer for the company of the same name. “We are delighted that Harald will continue to be a permanent part of our team with his expertise and knowledge of the market in his role of Senior Advisor Global Sales.”
Hoffmann responds: “I would like to particularly thank Manuel Lindner for the confidence and trust he placed in me. This success story would not have been possible without this support and without our wonderful colleagues. The Erema Group’s contribution further strengthened the company. I look forward to keeping in contact with our customers as part of my new role,” says Hoffmann.
