San Sac Group

What San Sac Group does

San Sac Group is a Swedish industrial company headquartered in Linköping that manufactures and supplies sorting and recycling equipment for waste materials, with 251-500 employees. Its SANSAC brand is positioned as the leading full-range supplier of non-motorized sorting equipment for indoor and outdoor use in Sweden, serving Swedish waste management organizations as its primary customer segment. The company operates as part of the SULO Group, formed in 2018 as a consolidation of multiple European waste management brands under a unified 'One group, one goal, one SULO' strategy.

San Sac Group's commercial activity is primarily physical equipment sales (bins, sorting stations, containers, compactors, balers) and related services, distributed directly through the SULO Group's multi-brand network spanning Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Revenue is generated through equipment sales and service contracts with enterprise and municipal customers; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The broader SULO Group portfolio is organized into three segments: Products and Solutions (SULO, ORWAK, SACRIA, PRESSOR, Molok), Trading brands (SANSAC, ENVIROPAC, ILAB, ATSORWAK, RUBAEK, TWS, COLLVERT, CHALLENV), and Services (INOVIM, SAVN).

Between 2014 and 2018, San Sac Group executed at least seven acquisitions (Tomra Compaction, EnviroPac AS, San Sac, Easi Recycling, Service Link Skandinavien, Avfallsteknik Skandinavien, Proshop) that built the foundation for the SULO Group consolidation. The company is privately held, with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and no published revenue. Its competitive advantage rests on brand recognition as Sweden's leading non-motorized sorting equipment supplier and on access to the SULO Group's distribution and sourcing scale across Europe.
