TOMRA has entered into an agreement to acquire all of the assets of C&C
Consolidated Holdings, LLC ("C&C"), which through its subsidiaries is a leading
provider of "bag drop" solutions for collection and processing of beverage
containers in the United States, operating under the CLYNK brand.
Bag drop is a convenient collection method whereby consumers can drop off entire
bags of empty beverage containers at collection points and have their deposit
refunded. It is a well-established and popular complement to reverse vending
machines and redemption centers in North America with strong growth potential.
"We are excited to welcome this new member of the TOMRA family. This acquisition
not only strengthens our position in the North American market but also enhances
our ability to provide innovative and convenient recycling solutions to
consumers. The integration of C&C's bag drop technology with TOMRA's existing
infrastructure will create significant synergies and drive additional growth. We
look forward to leveraging C&C's expertise to further our mission of leading the
resource revolution," says Marius Fraurud, EVP TOMRA Collection.
Founded in 2006, the acquired group of companies mainly operates in the
northeastern U.S. They supply retail stores with bag drop points and refund
customers their deposit through a digital platform that integrates with the
retailers. Collected bags are transported to material recovery facilities where
containers are counted and validated before refunding the deposit value.
Revenues have grown over 15% annually in the period 2020-2024 and amounted to
approx. 25 MEUR during the last 12 months.
TOMRA will pay a consideration of 45 MUSD (approx. 38 MEUR) for the shares. An
additional consideration of up to 15 MUSD (approx. 13 MEUR) will be contingent
on performance milestones up until the end of 2027 as part of an earn-out
structure. The purchase price represents an expected 2027 EV/EBITA multiple
below 10x. The acquisition will be financed on a debt basis. Closing of the
transaction is expected before the end of the third quarter 2025.
