<\/a> Dubai-based waste management company <\/strong>Averda International<\/a><\/strong> is looking to sell a <\/strong>majority stake in its business<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reports, citing sources close to the matter.

Who is Averda? <\/strong>Founded in 1964 in Lebanon, Averda is a privately-owned business serving public and private clients in segments including urban, industrial, healthcare, recycling and processing, and energy and disposal. Dubai private equity outfit Growthgate<\/a>Capital<\/a> has a substantial 33.3% minority stake. The company serves around 12 mn residents in eight Middle Eastern, Africa, and South Asian countries.<\/p>\n

Averda has been trying to IPO for years now: <\/strong>Whispers of an IPO emerged in 2019 when Averda eyed a listing valued at USD 700 mn on the London Stock Exchange, according to Arabian Business<\/a>. The company was also in talks to go public via SPAC merger with blank check company Better World Acquisition earlier this year, but the transaction fell through, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. It then considered a direct listing in the UAE or the KSA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
