Limerick, Ireland-based AMCS, a leading supplier of integrated software and vehicle technology for the waste and recycling industry, has acquired Brady Recycling solutions from London-based Brady plc, a global provider of trading, risk management and settlement solutions to the energy, commodities and recycling sectors.

The acquisition extends AMCS’ portfolio in the commercial scrap metal recycling sector and strengthens its commitment to the enablement of the circular economy. Brady Recycling has an international customer base of more than 100 metal and other recycling companies in North America, Europe and Australasia.

“We are excited to welcome the customers and employees of Brady Recycling Solutions to AMCS,” said Jimmy Martin, CEO of AMCS, in a statement. “This acquisition further strengthens our position as the leading technology provider to the global recycling industry. It also underlines our continued commitment to providing practical and proven solutions that support the transformation of the industry to a circular economy. We are committed to a seamless transition for Brady Recycling Solutions' customers and employees and look forward to providing them with an even greater level of support and engagement through our global locations.”

AMCS says its decision to acquire Brady Recycling solutions is consistent with its strategy of growth within the global waste and recycling market, both organically and through targeted acquisition. In the past few years, the company has continued to strengthen its position with the acquisitions of North America-based PC Scale Inc., Europe-based P&L Software and GMT and Australia-based Wastedge. In 2017, AMCS acquired Senddr and its innovative online Digital Engagement platform. The company has also secured significant new business wins in all of its primary markets, which included a number of national and international brands.
