M&A Strategies In The Environmental & Recycling Industry

Speaking for myself and the wider MEM team, we’re very excited to join Ecology Group, especially since our expertise brings a new range of services to the business, and fits closely with the group’s ambitions to become a market leader. There is a real need for the combined and complementary expertise of the group, and we’re confident in our shared ability to deliver lasting impact.

The acquisition of Mine Environment Management marks a critical moment for Global Ecology and Environmental Group and is underscored by our recognition that to be a market leader, we need to build a business of interconnected leaders in their field. This includes our established expertise in areas from BNG to nature finance, and now – mining. This is especially critical as the sector underpins global plans to meet net zero and deliver on other climate and environment commitments. We are really looking forward to working with Steven, Marguerite, the MEM team, and the wider group, to deliver on our ambition to become a market leader.

I am very relieved to have found a strategic partner in Eternity/CAPZA who is on an equal footing and will continue to expand the company together with me. I would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout the entire process. My special thanks go to the Benchmark International team.

We look forward to the valuable collaboration with CLS and are proud to have gained Mr. Hilmer, a successful manager with in-depth expertise.

We have been fortunate to build long-term partnerships in our journey of growing the business in an exciting, yet challenging environment. We are excited about the Metier team joining us in this new growth chapter. We believe that together we will be able to further the ambitions of the Mertech leadership team beyond what we could imagine today.

We have always seen huge opportunity in creating additional value to the recovered materials such as copper, steel, and plastics through enhanced downstream processes. With Metier’s investment and support, this can now be further unlocked.
