Organics Management Holdings Inc. has made a series of acquisitions it says have been designed to shape itself as a new leader in the field of organics recycling.
In addition to disclosing four acquisitions, the Winter Garden, Florida-based company is involved in initiatives spanning from compost biotechnology to the development of high-quality soil amendments it notes are guided by a commitment to "safeguarding the planet and enhancing community well-being."
The company was formed through the acquisition of several companies, including Florida-based CompostUSA, which operates three composting sites; its affiliate Southeast Soils, which provides custom made-to-order soil blends for nurseries and growers; LifeSoils, also based in Florida, which blends and markets the Comand line of gardening soils and other products to landscapers and lawn care companies; and Florida-based Harvest Quest, which conducts compost biotechnology research designed to improve and refine the composting process.
“We’ve had this vision for several years now and are excited to see it come together,” Organics Management CEO Kris Creeden says. “We’re still the same people, doing the same great work. But by creating this new company we can learn from each other’s expertise and bring all our collective benefits to every customer. We believe together we can do so much more.”
By combining what it sees as the strengths and successes of the four companies, Organics Management is positioned to provide benefits on the product sales side through improved soil health, increased water conservation and more effective nutrient uptake.
“We took dozens of passionate people with decades of combined expertise from these highly successful businesses and united them as a single team working together under a new brand,” Managing Director Matt Biegler says. “This allows us to more effectively pursue our mission of gathering discarded organic material from our communities and recycling it into a valuable resource we can give back to the Earth.”
CompostUSA accepts postconsumer waste produced from restaurants, hospitality and other institutional food services and preconsumer byproducts generated by food retailers, food manufacturers and other corporate processing facilities.
