Wastequip Acquires BME

Wastequip Inc., based in Beachwood, Ohio, has purchased specific assets and liabilities of BME Engineering In., Georgetown, Mass. 
           

BME makes roll-off, front-load and rear-load containers, compactors and roll-off hoists for refuse and recycling providers in the New England market.

“Purchasing BME strengthens Wastequip’s ability to serve major Boston and New England customers with fast service and competitive pricing while offering a full line of quality products,” Robert C. Rasmusseen, president and CEO of Wastequip, says. “The integration of our waste handling, recycling and material handling equipment is a perfect fit with BME’s equipment and regional reach. The purchase enables us to expand our current offerings and positions us closer to customers throughout the New England area to provide cost-effective distribution and on-site services.”

Wastequip will retain BME’s existing management team and employees and continue to make waste handling equipment at the BME plant under the name Wastequip Northeast.

Wastequip makes a line of waste handling, recycling and material handling equipment, operating many manufacturing plants throughout North America that are supported by a nationwide service and distributor network.
