Skanks Group plc

Their vision is to be Europe’s leading provider of sustainable waste management solutions.

The strategy:

1. Invest to drive organic growth where returns are greatest

2. Develop their infrastructure further to support sustainable waste management and conversion of waste to renewable energy

3. Share core capabilities and technologies across the Group

4. Maximise asset utilisation and minimise unit cost

5. Continue to use acquisitions to improve asset utilisation and re-orient the portfolio to high growth markets

The Group operates in countries with the highest recycling rates in Europe and has experience of a number of treatment processes capable of producing renewable energy from waste. They have set themselves the aspiration to be regarded as Europe’s leading sustainable waste management company and will be working hard over the coming years to achieve this goal.

The Group strategy going forward is therefore a simple one: to deliver organic growth by investing in assets that support sustainable waste management and are capable of delivering attractive returns on capital. Alongside this we will actively share expertise and technology across the Group whilst retaining a very strong focus on keeping their unit costs amongst the lowest in the industry. Finally, they will use acquisitions to improve capacity utilisation ( “tuck-in” model) or to secure capabilities that re-orient the Group to higher growth activities.
