Dillingen /Saar, 16 October 2025 – Pyrum Innovations AG (“Pyrum”, the “Company”, ISIN: DE000A2G8ZX8) announces that the official Ground-breaking ceremony for the next Pyrum-owned plant in Pearl coating is scheduled to take place on 14 November 2025. With a planned annual Recycling capacity of more than 22,000 tonnes of used tyres, the plant will be the largest Pyrum plant to date, which – like the main plant in Dillingen – will be operated 100 % by Pyrum and will more than double the company’s recycling capacities. Representatives from politics, business and sport are expected to attend the planned event.
Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: “Now that all the legal formalities have finally been clarified – development plan, planning permission and access to the site – we can hardly wait for things to visibly get underway. In the background, planning is already well advanced: The site has been prepared, numerous plant components with long delivery times – so-called long leads – have been ordered and the architect’s tenders for the ground work are underway. During construction, we will also benefit from the experience we have gained from the expansion of our main plant in Dillingen, so that we will be able to realise the Start of production in Perl-Besch plan for 2027.”
The new plant will cover an area of around 25.000 m2 will be built at the new site in Perl-Besch near the border triangle between Germany, France and Luxembourg and will consist of a shredder plant, three Pyrum reactors of the latest generation, a power plant and a grinding and pelletising plant. All of the findings from the first series plant in Dillingen have already been incorporated into the plans, so that Pyrum can assume a shorter construction timeone faster commissioning and therefore a faster achievement of maximum production capacity. The convenient location with a direct connection to the Moselle, existing railway lines and the nearby motorway offers ideal logistical conditions for the delivery of used tyres from all over Europe and the removal of the manufactured products.
To finance the equity portion of the new plant, part of the credit line has already been utilised via EUR 25 millionwhich was agreed with BASF at the end of 2023. In addition, there is a term sheet from a major European bank that contains further 70 % Debt capital for the entire investment amount (subject to the approval of the committees). In order to finalise the financing, an agreement with the Saarland authorities regarding the land development costs is still required. This also requires a State guarantee under discussion. In order not to lose any time, Pyrum is already pressing ahead with the work and is initially paying the costs incurred in advance. In addition, the first subsidies for the creation of jobs have already been paid out to GreenFactory II GmbH and utilised. If the financing for the new building in Perl-Besch is successfully concluded, this would also create the basis for accessing the second part of the loan of a further EUR 25 million promised by BASF, as well as further project financing from the major European bank mentioned above, which has already been promised. This would provide the company with additional Financial resources in the high double-digit million range are available for further projects in the rollout plan. Pyrum is currently assuming that the commissioning of the new plant in 2027 will also Break-even point which is expected to further support the further rollout of the project pipeline.
