Biototal acquires Mewab to support circular growth and expansion of the company’s service offering

Biototal has acquired Mewab – a company active within circular solutions for Biosolids, Biofertilizers and lime mud. Mewab has three business areas, the largest in the Agriculture sector as a leading provider of lime mud that is used to optimize farm soil’s PH level. Other business areas include Recycling with collection of biosolids and other organic waste and production of e.g. topsoil, raw compost as well as design and operation of landfills in Sweden. Mewab was founded in 1986 and with their headquarters in Karlstad, Sweden. FY20 revenues amounted to approx. SEK70m and the acquisition extends Biototal’s service offering as well as geographical presence.

“Biototal is a creative and expansive company with a stable growth since its founding in 2006. Biototal operates within the environmental technology sector including innovative circular solutions for future handling of scarce resources to create long term sustainable solutions between city, land, and sea. Mewab is engaged in the same field. Through the acquisition, both companies are strengthened, and several synergy effects are realized, e.g., Mewab´s long term handling and distribution of lime mud as well as their geographical presence in south/south western Sweden. We look forward to an exciting journey together”, says Mike Helber (CEO of Biototal)

“Biototal strives to become the leading supplier of circular products to the agricultural industry. Through the acquisition of Mewab with its market-leading position in lime mud, we broaden our product offering with something that is a strong natural complement to the company's existing products. We simply believe that the two companies are stronger together and now we will continue on our sustainable growth journey!” says Stefan Karlsson, partner MVI
