History
After ten years of car-recycling ATN Environmental Systems B.V. was founded in 1989 as we started with the recycling of refrigerators. It all started after the invention of the drill-head for the quick degassing of the cooling-system of a fridge. With the help of this patented device we where able to remove the oil and the CFC (refrigerant) of a domestic fridge in 1 minute.
Today
Nowadays ATN Environmental Systems bv is a company that has more then fifty-five plants/systems throughout Europe. And still the market is growing. During the years we have developed a number of plants that are able to solve recycling problems for a large number of customers.

Located in the north of Holland we also have company’s in France and in the USA. The main-office is located in Ter Apel in Holland. End of 2009 we will move in to a new facility in Stadskanaal, 20 kilometers west of the present location. This new facility enables us to speed up production and to move on with a number of new developments in order to increase our range of recycling solutions.
