Sims Recycling Solutions, the electronics recycling division of Sims Metal Management, has existing UK electrical recycling facilities in Newport, Manchester, Ellesmere Port and Dumfries. Through this acquisition, the company will now come to own and operate the recycling division of Wincanton, which includes electronic recycling plants at Billingham and Daventry and sorting centers at Harlow and Widnes.
Graham Davy, global CEO of Sims Recycling Solutions, said: “We are delighted to expand our geographical footprint within the UK market, allowing us to provide a more localized service to our growing client base.
“The retailer led capability and logistics expertise of Wincanton’s recycling division, together with its infrastructure, ideally complement our business model and processing expertise.
“Furthermore, the addition of a collaborative arrangement in reverse logistics with Wincanton, the seller, will allow us to offer an unparalleled level of recycling excellence and service convenience to our UK customer base.”
