Walker Industries Holdings has completed the acquisition of two organic waste-to-energy facilities from Miller Waste Systems, expanding its operations into anaerobic digestion for the first time.
The deal includes Miller Waste's Escarpment Renewables and Maryland Farms facilities, along with pre-processing assets previously operated at sites in Grimsby, Maryland and Pickering, Ontario.
Walker said the acquisition represents a strategic extension of its existing organics portfolio, adding renewable gas production to its current offer of sustainable fertiliser and soil amendment solutions. The company said it will now also supply nutrient-rich digestate to the agricultural sector.
'This acquisition represents an important milestone for Walker as we expand into a new channel of organics management and renewable energy production,' said Geordie Walker, president and CEO. 'I am excited to strengthen our ability to deliver sustainable waste management solutions that benefit our customers, support our communities, and help advance a circular economy.'
For Miller Waste, the transaction reflects a decision to concentrate on its core waste management and resource recovery business. The Canadian family-owned company said it was confident the facilities would continue to perform under Walker's stewardship.
'This transaction allows Miller to focus on its core lines of business while ensuring these specific facilities continue to thrive under the experienced stewardship of Walker,' said Joe Johnson, president of Miller Waste Systems.
Walker described the two companies as having shared values across decades of collaboration, with the deal building on what both described as a longstanding relationship founded on mutual respect.
