Aggregate Industries said the acquisition will “significantly strengthen” its position to become a leading provider of recycled construction and demolition waste materials in London, the largest circular economy market in the UK.

It will also provide further growth opportunities in other areas of the country.

With six facilities across the UK capital, and more than 150 years in business, Sivyer Logistics’ services include waste management, vehicle logistics, manufactured soils, primary and recycled aggregates and volumetric readymix concrete.

It currently handles one million t of waste materials per year, recovering and recycling over 450,000 t.

Dragan Maksimovic, CEO of Aggregate Industries UK, said: “This acquisition is positioning us at the forefront of circular construction, driving our ambition to build new from the old.

“We have an ambitious strategy to grow our CDW and circular economy operations by 2025, and the acquisition of Sivyer provides us with enhanced expertise, facilities and products as we continue to strive to become the UK’s leading supplier of sustainable construction materials and solutions.”

Miljan Gutovic, region head Europe, added: “Sivyer Logistics is an excellent addition to help us drive circular construction and reach our group target of recycling 10 million tons of construction and demolition waste by 2025.”
