Tampa-based Veransa Group Inc., an organic compost supplier, announced the acquisition of MW Horticulture in Fort Myers. Veransa specializes in transforming green and wood waste into beneficial reuse products on an industrial scale through vertical integration of waste collection/recycling centers with organic products manufacturing facilities. The deal, which closed Oct. 19, includes MW’s green and wood waste collections, recycling and organics production facility in Fort Myers with an option to acquire its LaBelle facility. The acquisition integrates MW’s range of specialized organic blended-soil products into Veransa’s product portfolio and extends Veransa’s geographic reach into the rapidly growing Southwest Florida market. The Fort Myers facility will be modernized under Veransa’s management and safety and operational procedures and will fall under a new South Florida division of the Veransa Group.
