Enespa AG is consistently investing in the further development of AdBlue® production at its Bernsdorf site in Germany. Following the installation of a new filling plant and the expansion of our tank farm, we are setting another milestone in terms of scaling, quality assurance, and customer proximity with a fully automated packaging line.

The system installed by Fefler GmbH connects directly to our existing filling plant and enables continuous, automated processing of the 5- and 10-liter canisters.

From the integrated weighing unit for precise fill quantity control and leak-proof closure testing to the fully automated carton erector, every process step is reliably monitored. Subsequent cartoning, palletizing, and shrink wrapping are also fully automated.

This allows us to ensure process reliability, consistent product quality and flexible packaging according to the respective customer requirements.

Systematic scaling

Production capacity in Bernsdorf has increased significantly in recent years – from an initial 40 tons per day to approximately 100 tons currently. This growth is based not only on investments in technology, but also on consistent process optimization, lean management approaches, and increasing automation along the entire value chain.

With the new filling and packaging solution, we are now creating the structural conditions to realize economies of scale and reliably meet increasing demand.

Quality as a central promise

AdBlue® is an essential component of modern exhaust aftertreatment systems in diesel vehicles. The solution consists of 32,5% urea (UREA) and 67,5% demineralized water and helps to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and comply with applicable emissions standards.

Quality is paramount. Every batch of our AdBlue® is tested and VDA-certified. Furthermore, our on-site testing laboratory is currently undergoing ISO 9001 certification. The urea we use comes exclusively from non-sanctioned countries. Transparent supply chains and documented quality assurance are a core customer promise for enespa.

Strategic addition to our core business

enespa is internationally renowned, primarily for the design and planning of plants in the fields of advanced recycling and tire pyrolysis. Our activities in the AdBlue® segment complement our automotive sector activities effectively.

This allows us to tap into a stable, growing market environment with predictable sales volumes. Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds flows directly into our research and development projects in the field of sustainable recycling technologies.

The investment in Bernsdorf thus exemplifies our entrepreneurial approach: operational excellence, scalability and clear quality standards – combined with the long-term goal of making industrial processes more sustainable.
