Tana Oy, a global leader in solid waste management and landfill operations, has announced the acquisition of its long-time Australian distributor, GCM Enviro Pty Ltd. The acquisition marks a significant step in Tana’s growth strategy and commitment to delivering customer value through direct local presence. 

Closer to customers 

With this acquisition, GCM Enviro will become a subsidiary of Tana Oy and operate under the new name Tana Australia Pty Ltd. The move enables Tana to further strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific region and provide even more integrated and customer-focused solutions to the Australian waste management and recycling sectors.

The current team at GCM will continue to operate as before, ensuring business continuity and maintaining strong relationships with existing customers and partners. The integration will bring additional resources and improved service capabilities under the TANA brand. 

“This is an exciting new chapter, and we are proud to become Tana Australia” says Nathan Connor, GM of GCM Enviro. “With deeper collaboration and access to more global resources, we can deliver even more value to our customers.”
