Evac Group and Uson Marine join forces
Evac Group, the world’s leading provider of integrated waste, wastewater, and water management systems for the marine, offshore, and building industries, has acquired Uson Marine. The acquisition is expected to increase Evac’s market share in dry and wet waste management systems, as well as strengthen the Group’s position with regard to small and medium-sized marine and offshore vessels. Thanks to the acquisition, customers of both Evac and Uson Marine will benefit from an improved service network and enlarged offering. After this acquisition Evac Group’s turnover will be over 110 MEUR.
Uson Marine provides dry and wet waste management systems, including food waste systems, for maritime and offshore industry customers. The company was established in 1983 and its sales turnover was 6.6 MEUR (64 MSEK) in 2015. Uson Marine has offices in Stockholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway, as well as representatives in 21 countries on five continents. The company has a very strong market share and excellent customer relationships, especially within the merchant, passenger, navy, and special vessel segments, offshore vessels, and rigs.
The need for cleantech solutions that support the sustainable and environmentally friendly operations of offshore, marine, and river vessel operators is increasing due to tighter legislation and increased public awareness. This increasing demand has supported the growth of Evac and led to an increase in turnover for the company of almost 40% last year. The acquisition of Uson Marine supports this growth by bringing in new resources and knowledge to serve customers better.
