ACS Group acquires Pagani to expand capabilities, reach

Auxiliary equipment maker ACS Group, Berlin, Wis., has acquired the assets of Dycomet S.A. de C.V., known by its brand name Pagani, a leading manufacturer of granulators and washing systems for the plastics and recycling industries.  

With the acquisition, ACS Group has strengthened its position as a provider of turnkey solutions for plastic recycling infrastructure.  

“Pagani’s capabilities in granulators and plastics washing systems used in the recycling of PET, polyethylene and polypropylene complement our product portfolio perfectly,” ACS Group President Bob Andress said. “With the addition of their wash line technology, we can now offer customers fully integrated systems that improve performance and reduce total cost of operations.”  

Founded in 1966 in Mexico City, where it’s based, Pagani designs and manufactures customized granulators and washing systems for post-consumer plastic waste streams of a variety of items, including bottles, packaging and film. Its acquisition gives ACS Group a bigger presence in Latin America.
