Dauson Environmental Group has completed the acquisition of Mekatek Limited, securing the future of the specialist waste treatment facility at Amex Park, Carmarthen.

 

Completed on 1 September 2026, the acquisition represents a significant investment in Wales’ waste treatment infrastructure and will enable Dauson to expand the specialist services it provides to agricultural, commercial and industrial customers across Wales.

Mekatek’s Amex Park facility provides specialist treatment for wet and aqueous waste streams, supporting customers across a range of sectors, including agriculture. The facility plays an important role in the Welsh waste management network, providing treatment capacity for a range of specialist waste streams.

Dauson pursued the acquisition after becoming aware that the future of the facility was uncertain. Recognising the importance of its services to customers and the wider Welsh economy, Dauson moved to secure the site, protecting its specialist treatment capacity, employment and role within the wider waste management supply chain.

The acquisition directly safeguards over 25 jobs, while also supporting the wider network of businesses that depend on Mekatek’s operations, including transport providers, testing services and other specialist suppliers.

Following a detailed due diligence process, Dauson will now progress a programme of investment and improvement at the site. This will focus on ensuring the facility is sustainable, fit for purpose and equipped to meet the needs of its customers over the long term.

The Group will also explore opportunities to further develop the services available from Amex Park, building on Dauson’s wider experience across waste treatment, recycling, resource recovery and environmental services.

The acquisition strengthens Dauson Environmental Group’s presence in West Wales and forms part of its wider strategy of investing in infrastructure that supports a resilient, sustainable and locally focused waste management sector.

The investment will help ensure that essential specialist waste treatment services remain available within Wales, supporting businesses across the agricultural, commercial and industrial sectors while protecting local employment and strengthening the wider supply chain.

 

 

David Neal, CEO of Dauson Environmental Group, said:

“The acquisition of Mekatek is an important investment in the future of specialist waste treatment in Wales. We recognised the value of the facility to its customers, employees and the wider supply chain, and wanted to ensure that this important capacity was protected.

“We’re now looking forward to investing in the site, supporting its workforce and exploring opportunities to build on the services it provides. This acquisition is about protecting an important part of Wales’ waste management infrastructure while creating a strong platform for its future development
