The deal will see Averda significantly increase the number of private and public sector clients in its portfolio.

The acquisition will also allow Averda to realise several synergies, including further economies of scale and the ability to cross- and up-sell end-to-end waste services to a larger client base. This is expected to further enhance the profitability of its operations in the UAE.
