RECENT EXIT
Established in 2000, Micronipol grew to be one of the leading players in the domestic plastic recycling market. Following a failed sales process, Explorer stepped in and proposed a partnership with management, which had been looking to completely exit the business.

In 2024, Explorer arranged a successful sale to Veolia, the global environmental services group.
“Beyond the support they gave us to improve the business, the Explorer team’s experience in identifying, evaluating and negotiating with international investors was extremely valuable.”
