Accent-owned San Sac grows further by acquiring Orwak from Tomra
Accent-owned San Sac Group is taking yet another step in consolidating the waste management equipment market. The company has entered into an agreement with Tomra Systems to acquire Tomra Compaction, operating under the Orwak brand. San Sac, together with sister companies ILAB Container and Rubaek, recently merged with EnviroPac. These companies and Orwak complement each other when it comes to products, competence and geography. San Sac, EnviroPac and Orwak have combined sales of approximately SEK 750 million
The merger of San Sac and EnviroPac took place in October 2014 with the investment fund Accent Equity 2012 as main owner. Now it’s time for the next step in San Sac’s growth strategy by merging with Orwak.
“Orwak will complement San Sac and EnviroPac with its in-house production of high-quality balers and its international sales organisation,” says Fredrik Jaginder, CEO of the San Sac Group. ”We are convinced that our combined efforts will create a very strong offering to existing and new customers.”
San Sac develops and markets waste collection systems with ease-of-use for the public as well as ergonomically sound for the staff that collects and transports the waste. The company is active in Sweden and Denmark.
EnviroPac is one of Norway’s leading suppliers of machines and equipment for waste recycling and compacting.
Orwak develops, manufactures and markets a wide product range of balers and briquette presses for renewable material. The company has production in Sävsjö, Sweden and subsidiaries/sales companies in Sweden, Norway, Poland and Japan. In addition, sales go through distributors in some 40 countries in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
”We are looking forward to take part in creating a complete group of companies within compaction equipment for waste management,” says Stefan Ek, CEO of Orwak. ”We have always considered San Sac and EnviroPac to be very competent colleagues within their respective niches. Together we will create an even stronger offering to both our customers and staff.”
