LYNNFIELD, MA — GreenMan Technologies has acquired all tire collection operations of American Tire Disposal (ATD), Inc., a southern California-based company that collects and markets scrap tires. GreenMan will consolidate ATD’s business into its existing California operations. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1992, GreenMan Technologies is made up of a group of eight affiliated companies that collect, process and market more than 30 million scrap tires annually in whole, shredded or granule form. Based in Lynnfield, Mass., the company has operations in California, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

Jim Dodenhoff, GreenMan’s California vice president, said the acquisition establishes GreenMan’s position as a collector of scrap tires in the Southern California marketplace. “The addition of these collection operations will both complement our crumb rubber manufacturing business and diversify our overall business providing a platform for continued growth,” said Dodenhoff.
