Michael Nelles, DBG’s new Market Director Pulp & Paper Industry: our representative in Germany

This month, we founded DBG Deutschland GmbH. Because of the large number of paper mills in Germany, this is an important next step for DBG Bio Energy.

This German branch, located in the Düsseldorf area, will be managed by Michael Nelles, who recently joined DBG.

As managing director of DBG Deutschland GmbH, Michael will be our representative in Germany, liaising with the paper mills. Among many of his responsibilities, he will negotiate, maintain and renew papersludge feedstock contracts with paper mills, organise the logistics of paper sludge, and deal with administrative matters regarding cross border transportation of sludge. Above all, Michael will be our relationship manager with the German paper mill network.

Michael knows the German paper sludge world like the back of his hand. He has over 20 years of experience in the paper industry. During the past 10 years, Michael worked in the waste upcycling sector and the time before that as feedstock purchaser by a paper mill. The combination of those experiences makes him the ideal fit for this position.
