Enterprise Investors backs Elemental Holding with €7m
Enterprise Investors has injected €7m into Polish specialist recycling company Elemental Holding in exchange for a 10.2% stake in the business.
Enterprise backed Elemental with capital from the Enterprise Venture Fund I vehicle. The business will use the funding to make acquisitions in the Polish scrap-collection market. It will also set aside capital for investment in scrap and recycling businesses in order to expand within the wider CEE market.
The company has already acquired Polish recycling businesses Syntom and Terra Recycling since its inception. The GP initiated the deal by contacting Elemental Holding following its research in the recycling market in Poland.
