Conditional acquisition of Central Suction Cleaners Limited and establishment
of Nelson base
The Board of WasteCo Group is pleased to announce that its wholly owned operating
subsidiary, WasteCo NZ Limited (WasteCo NZ), has today signed a conditional
agreement to purchase the assets and business of Central Suction Cleaners Limited
(CSC), based in Nelson, for a cash purchase price of $900,000 (plus GST, if any). An
asset agreement has also been signed between the parties for a road sweeper to be
purchased by WasteCo NZ from CSC for a cash purchase price of $100,000 plus GST.
CSC is a family owned business, established in 1976 to provide road sweeping
services to the top of the South Island. It provides a range of services including street
and industrial yard sweeping, catch-pit and sump cleaning, road chip recovery and
hydro-vac excavation. It currently employs 6 dedicated personnel from its base in
Nelson.
This acquisition acts as a platform for WasteCo to establish a base in the Nelson /
Tasman area, further expanding the WasteCo operations in the South Island and
providing support for potential greenfield opportunities in the area.
The business agreement is conditional on certain matters, including purchaser due
diligence, the assignment of certain key business contracts, specified CSC employees
accepting employment with WasteCo and a new lease of the Nelson business
premises to WasteCo from settlement. The conditions are due to be satisfied by
Tuesday 21 February 2023.
Settlement of the purchase of the business and assets is scheduled for 1 March 2023.
Experienced WasteCo personnel will join the CSC team to both continue the
operations established by them and expand on offerings for the region.
The sale and purchase of the road sweeper under the asset agreement will be
completed later, on 3 April 2023, but WasteCo NZ will take possession of the sweeper
on settlement of the business agreement on 1 March 2023 so that the sweeper can
continue to be used in the business. The asset agreement is conditional on settlement
occurring under the business agreement.
