Latour Capital and Bpifrance support Sulo in its acquisition of San Sac Group, a cross-border build-up allowing Sulo to become the undisputed European leader in waste containerization solutions

Paris, January 09, 2020 – Latour Capital and Bpifrance announce the completion of a build-up operation for their portfolio company Sulo (former Plastic Omnium Environnement) with the acquisition of San Sac Group, a Swedish company specializing in waste containerization solutions, mainly in Scandinavian countries.

Based in Linköping (Sweden), San Sac Group has grown through successive acquisitions and is today the market leading provider of products and services for sorting, containment and compaction of waste in Scandinavia and a world leading manufacturer of waste compaction machines. The company has built a worldwide network in over 40 countries, with c.500 employees and 3 plants (in Sweden and France).

This acquisition is a key milestone in the strategic growth development that Sulo initiated a year ago. Both companies will benefit from important complementarities in terms of products, geography and customers, with multiple cross-selling opportunities. Accent Equity, seller of San Sac Group, is convinced by this value creation
plan and reinvests part of its proceeds in the combined group.

“This acquisition will allow Sulo to become the clear European leader generating over €500m sales, with strong
sales in the Scandinavian market" comments Didier Gaudoux, Partner at Latour Capital.

Stéphanie Frachet, Managing Director at Bpifrance, said: “Bpifrance is happy to support this build-up operation which will bring significant development opportunities for the group at the heart of environmental challenges linked to waste management"

Michel Kempinski, President of Sulo, adds that “the complementarity between the two product ranges will also allow Sulo to extend its offer to corporate clients, with metal containers and compaction machines in other geographies."

Fredrik Jaginder, CEO of San Sac Group, declared that “San Sac is delighted to join an industrial group such as Sulo, which will allow us to strengthen our position in our existing markets with increased volumes and a wider product range for our customers."
