History of NG Group
Our business started as a small scrap trading company in 1926 by Adolf Jahr. The Jahr family became involved and expanded the enterprise. They changed the name to Aker Flaske – og Skraphandel. Their focus was recycling metals, and trading coal, petroleum and potatoes. Almost 40 years later, they began to collect recycled paper, and the first vehicle for container transport was introduced. Since then, the company has continuously evolved in sustainable solutions, new technology and services. Expansion in waste management has led to the point that NG Group is one of the leading pioneers in the circular marked.
