Tide Rock Holdings, a San Diego-based holding company, strategically acquired Cal Micro Recycling to diversify their recycling portfolio. The acquisition offers Tide Rock the opportunity to diversify its material supplier base and increase recycling opportunities. “We are excited to expand our exposure to recycling through our investment in Cal Micro,” said Brooks Kincaid, President of Tide Rock. “Its ability to fulfill product destruction contracts, as well as handle glass, e-waste and mattress recycling, complements our existing holding, American Recycling, and its handling of bulk plastic, cardboard, paper, metal, and organic waste. Together they provide comprehensive recycling services throughout California.”
Operating out of a 90,000-square-foot processing facility based in the City of Ontario, California, Cal Micro is a trusted solutions provider for the proper disposal of e-waste, CRT glass, mattress recycling, and general product destruction. Cal Micro’s strict adherence to State and Federal regulations, superior customer service, and innovation were the primary elements that contributed to the company’s rapid growth. As a B2B integrated commercial recycler, Cal Micro is permitted by CalRecycle and California Department of Toxic Substances Control to recycle e-waste and glass materials.
Current CEO Roy Dann has led the Cal Micro team since its inception. “Throughout the acquisition negotiation process, I was most impressed with Tide Rock. They’re reasonable and fair business people,” said Dann, “That gives me a sense of confidence that they’ll deliver on their promise to preserve Cal Micro’s legacy by continuing to serve its strong customer base and deliver growth through strategic opportunities in sales and marketing.”
