Re-Match adds Nordic Alpha Partners as investors in the company.

Re-Match, a Herning, Denmark-based company providing artificial turf recycling services, announced getting into an investment agreement with the Danish venture company Nordic Alpha Partners.

The proceeds of the deal will be used to to build factories across Europe and North America. The first facility outside Denmark will be placed in the Netherlands to meet an increasing demand for a sustainable solution to the handling of worn-out synthetic turf. The Dutch factory, which will have significantly larger capacity than the existing one in Denmark, is expected to be ready for production in 2020 and will be followed by factories in USA, England and Germany.

Re-Match, led by CEO Stefaan Florquin, has developed a patented and EU verified environmental technology* for recycling synthetic turf. The process downsizes, cleans and separates worn-out turf from e.g. football pitches into the original raw materials; sand, rubber, backing and plastic fibre, which can then be used in new production cycles. The first factory in Denmark has been operational since 2016 and processes 40.000 tonnes per year.
