Sesotec PRE-SORT Product of the Year 2025 in the Category Recycling
Sesotec GmbH, a leading provider of technologies for foreign object detection and material sorting, was awarded first place in the Recycling category for its multisensor sorting platform PRE-SORT at the KUNSTSTOFF MAGAZIN Products of the Year 2025. The renowned reader competition is organized annually by KUNSTSTOFF MAGAZIN and celebrates outstanding innovations in various categories. The winners are determined through a vote by expert readers, which particularly underscores the practical relevance and market significance of the awarded products.
The PRE-SORT platform integrates the VARISORT COMPACT sorting system, dust removal units, material conveying, and a central control in one compact unit. This combination enables efficient and precise sorting of materials, resulting in higher purity levels and improved resource utilization. With the PRE-SORT sorting platform, Sesotec sets new standards in the plastics and recycling industry and makes a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and ensuring quality in the material cycle. The product revolutionizes the procurement market for plastics processing companies by enabling them to take quality control of their incoming recyclate material into their own hands. The quick payback period makes the PRE-SORT platform an economically attractive solution for the industry.
At the end of February, the festive award ceremony took place in Darmstadt, where the outstanding products of the plastics industry were honored. Representing Sesotec, Dietmar Dieing, Vice President Sales Plast, and Tobias Dillinger, Product Manager Plast, accepted the award.
