IMAP Netherlands advised Omega Containers on its successful sale to REMONDIS Nederland.
Omega Containers – a family-owned integrated waste management provider active in the Hague and Rotterdam region is now joining one of Europe's leading service providers in recycling and waste collection. This transaction marks a significant step for REMONDIS in strengthening its presence in the Randstad region.
Omega's activities are closely aligned with those of the REMONDIS branch in Delft. From Omega Containers' location in The Hague, customer service can be optimized and investments can be made in making waste collection and recycling in the region more sustainable. At the same time, REMONDIS is also working to further expand its activities in the area of water management and sewer technology.
With the acquisition of Omega Containers, a Hague-based family business that is at the forefront of waste collection and processing, REMONDIS is taking another major step in increasing its market share in the southwestern part of the Randstad region. Omega's nearly 50 employees, founded in 1969, today take care of the separate collection of various waste streams such as construction and demolition waste, industrial waste, green waste and a large number of other streams. The company is distinguished by a strong position in the healthcare sector: it provides services to several hospitals and healthcare institutions in the region. In total, Omega has about 11,000 containers and an extensive fleet of skip, hooklift, and roll-off container vehicles. It offers its customers a total solution for all their waste and residual streams.
Director-owner Jeroen Basten, who will oversee the integration of Omega within REMONDIS in the coming months together with regional director Roger Versluis and branch manager in Delft Daphne Ab, commented, "I am delighted that Omega will continue in another fine family business after almost 56 years in the family. REMONDIS' innovative and financial capabilities ensure that our customers are also guaranteed a good partner for their waste collection in the future. For our employees, the acquisition by REMONDIS offers security and opportunities for the future in this growing company. It fills me with pride to see the road we have traveled together with our employees and what we have achieved with Omega."
Managing Director Dr. Andreas Krawczik of REMONDIS Netherlands expects the joining of forces with Omega to be very successful, because both companies share the same values: "As REMONDIS, we have become a major player in the Netherlands, because we work in a decentralized way and, as a family business, we understand that our potential is in our people. Because they are the ones who know the customers in their market area like no other and who speak their language. It's great that we can now realize our ambitions in The Hague by including a truly Hague-based company in our REMONDIS family. The typical Omega mentality of rolling up our sleeves and tackling things together gives us every confidence that we are now taking a crucial step, with which we can further grow our company in The Hague and the surrounding area."
The IMAP Netherlands team, led by Frank Ruijgrok, Thomas Verhoeckx and Lloyd Schimmer, advised Omega Containers on this transaction.
