US-based recycling company Paladin EnviroTech has acquired R&L Recycling of the Netherlands. Based in the Eindhoven region in the south of the country, R&L processes laptops, servers, cables, chargers and printed circuit boards and specialises in reuse and secure data destruction.

The acquisition marks Paladin’s first step into Europe and supports the growing demand for regional IT asset disposition (ITAD) and recycling solutions within the European Union.

More to come

‘R&L Recycling is the ideal partner to shape our European expansion,’ says Brian Diesselhorst, ceo of Paladin. ‘Its expertise in European regulations and sustainable operations aligns perfectly with our strategy.’

The acquisition supports Paladin’s broader sustainability strategy, which includes its magnet recycling initiative REcapture, and lays the foundation for further expansion across Europe. ‘This is our first acquisition in Europe but certainly not our last,’ Diesselhorst comments on LinkedIn.

Name unchanged

R&L Recycling was founded 25 years ago by Raymond van Melis and has built a strong reputation in responsible recycling and materials recovery. Following the acquisition, R&L will continue to operate under its existing name, with the current management team remaining in place, including operational and logistics manager Horst Prinsen.
