About this business
Since 2001 this business has built and sold small shredding and washing lines that let farms, garden centres and manufacturers recycle their own plastic waste. A team of four works from a freehold rural site outside Newcastle upon Tyne, which comes with the sale, although the work could move.
Turnover has grown fast, from £263k in 2021 to £430k, and adjusted EBITDA has nearly doubled to £54k. Margins are still modest, so a buyer could look at pricing. The asking price is £215k.
Key investment highlights
- Freehold rural site included
- Turnover up from £263k to £430k
- Machines for on-site plastic recycling
- Team of four
Reason for sale
