A Donegal waste management and recycling company has been acquired by Panda Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DM Waste, which was based in Labbadish, Manorcunningham, was first established back in 2008.<\/p>\n

The company has grown steadily over the last 18 years under the direction and guidance of its owner John Caulderbanks.<\/p>\n

However, DM Waste has now been acquired by Panda Ireland, who are one of the biggest waste management companies in the country.<\/p>\n

Panda Ireland has over 3,000 employees, and serve over 300,000 homes and businesses nationally.<\/p>\n

The company generated \u20ac369m in 2024 according to Irish Revenue figures, and was described by KPMG as a market leader in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Customers of DM Waste were informed of the acquisition via a letter that was issued earlier this month.<\/p>\n

In the letter, DM Waste expressed their delight at the acquisition deal.<\/p>\n

The letter read, “We are delighted to inform you that DM Waste has been acquired by Panda, one of Ireland’s leading waste management and recycling companies in the country.”<\/p>\n

Typically when it comes to acquisitions there can be a bit of friction as one company absorbs another, but customers were told there would be no disruption to services.<\/p>\n

Direct debits will also not be impacted by the acquisition.<\/p>\n

However, customers with direct debits were told to be aware that Panda Recycling would now appear on their bank statements instead of DM Waste.<\/p>\n

It’s not the first waste management company in Donegal that Panda Ireland has taken control of.<\/p>\n

Ferry’s Refuse was acquired by Galway-based company WERS Waste in 2017.<\/p>\n

In 2019, WERS Waste was acquired by Beauparc, who are the parent company of Panda Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Donegal waste management and recycling company has been acquired by Panda Ireland.\u00a0 DM Waste, which was based…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670106,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,1485,61,60],"class_list":["post-670105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-donegal","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
