Fortum continues its investments in circular economy by acquiring Turebergs Recycling AB in Sweden

Fortum has today finalized an acquisition of Turebergs Recycling AB from

Turebergs Åkeri AB with an enterprise value of up to approximately EUR 11

million (SEK 108 million). The main business of Turebergs Recycling is

environmental construction, recycling and processing of bottom ash from

waste-to-energy plants. The company has long-term contracts with its customers,

based on which Turebergs Recycling receives combustion residues, treats them

and utilizes the cleansed material as infrastructure construction material. An

important part of the business is separation of metals for reuse.



Turebergs Recycling operates mostly in Stockholm area and has annual revenue in

excess of SEK 100 million with strong profitability. The company will be

integrated as a part of Fortum’s City Solutions division, which through the

acquisition of Ekokem in August 2016 has strong competences and existing

business in ash treatment.



Markus Rauramo, head of City Solutions division comments: “We are very pleased

about the acquisition of Turebergs Recycling, which reinforces our determined

entry into materials recycling business. Utilisation of incineration waste in

full, including metal separation, is in line with our vision ‘For a cleaner

world’ as it helps save natural resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Acquisition of Ekokem was our first big step entering into circular economy

business and we expect to continue our growth when attractive opportunities

arise both in our existing home markets as well as in new geographies.”



Daniel Bergholtz, owner of Turebergs Åkeri AB comments: “We welcome Fortum as

the new owner of our subsidiary Turebergs Recycling, which has long experience

within treatment and recycling of incinerated bottom ash. The circular economy

is here to stay and we look forward to follow the company’s continued success”.
