PAC, which is based in Newark, Delaware, has been established for 50 years, during which time it has carved a reputation for developing high-quality cutters and pneumatic convey systems designed to help companies effectively remove trim materials and eliminate costly clogs or breakdowns.

Led by Thomas C. Embley, PAC’s CEO and President, the business has recently entered the hospital sector, having won a major contract to install its own PWCS in a 1.5 million square foot hospital on Penn Medicine’s west Philadelphia campus. The system became operational in October and is expected to handle over 27 tonnes of general waste, dry recyclables and soiled linen 24 hours a day using 77 loading stations. PAC is currently installing its system in another US hospital, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, which will be serviced by 54 stations on completion.

The hospital sector is one of Envac’s key strategic priorities for 2022, having established itself as a hospital PWCS specialist since it first unveiled its first ever system in a Swedish hospital in 1961. The decision to acquire PAC will not only extend Envac’s reach into new markets but also cement the Swedish-based firm’s position as the largest PWCS firm to serve the US.

PAC’s current team, which includes 50 employees, will remain unchanged. It will now benefit from access to Envac’s technology and supply chain, which currently spans 20 countries and has been used to install over 1,000 Envac systems worldwide.

On the acquisition, Thomas comments: “Like Envac, Precision AirConvey has enjoyed a long and successful history over a period spanning more than half a century. The strategic decision to merge with Envac will provide a platform for continued growth for both organisations and we’re excited to begin a new chapter in Precision AirConvey’s life with a world-class company such as Envac.”

Joakim Karlsson, Envac’s CEO, adds: “Precision AirConvey is a market leader with a strong

reputation throughout the US. The decision to acquire the business is in line with our ambitions for developing the Envac brand, which is based on organic growth and strategic acquisitions that complement the systems and services we offer. This is a huge milestone in our company’s history and one that myself and my team are proud to have achieved.”

About Envac

Envac is the global market leader in the automated waste collection industry. We help create smarter and more sustainable cities by providing environmentally friendly systems for efficient resource recovery.
The immediate effects when changing from manual collection to Envac’s system are that heavy traffic and emissions can be reduced by up to 90%, the street environment becomes quieter and the waste disposal procedure cleaner and safer for the user.

Envac developed and launched the pneumatic system in the early 1960s. Today it is used all over the world in city centres, residential areas, hospitals and airports. For coming generations Envac’s technology will be a matter of course. Waste transportation is removed from the streets to an underground pipe network and becomes a part of the urban infrastructure, like electricity, water and sewage. The systems are self-learning and equipped with artificial intelligence for optimisation of operation and energy consumption.

Envac AB, with head office in Stockholm, Sweden, have 35 offices in 20 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America.

Envac is a fully owned subsidiary of Stena Adactum AB, a company in the Stena Sphere, Sweden.
