OC&C advises HB RTS Group on its acquisition of PPS

We are pleased to congratulate HB RTS Group on the acquisition of PPS. OC&C provided buy-side commercial due diligence to support this transaction.

HB RTS Group, a leading European specialist in the rental, pooling, washing and logistics of Returnable Transport Items (RTI), is owned by Arcus Infrastructure Partners. The acquisition of PPS, a UK-based provider, marks a strategic expansion of HB RTS’s existing footprint into the UK market.

This deal strengthens HB RTS’s position as a pan-European RTI leader and supports continued growth in the sector for circular logistics solutions. PPS’s established customer base and operational expertise in the UK are highly complementary to HB RTS’s existing network in the UK and across mainland Europe.

We’re proud to have supported this deal, further expanding our track record in advising European businesses in circular logistics solutions across the deal lifecycle. To learn more about our expertise in supply chain and logistics, reach out to our team below.
