The acquisition of the family-run company, which operates commercial food waste collections from its regional offices in Coventry, Sheffield, Manchester, Derby, Oxford and Grantham, sees Olleco strengthen its operations in England.
While the terms of the deal remain undisclosed, the acquisition will add additional capacity to Ollecos fleet of collection vehicles, specially designed to reduce emissions, which already serve customers across the UK.
