The Carlyle Group-backed Liberty Tire Recycling, a provider of tire recycling services in North America, completed the acquisition of Lakin Tire, a tire removal and recycling company. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Similar to Liberty, Lakin has a long heritage of providing outstanding customer service and has a deep commitment to sustainability. Lakin’s culture of service and sustainability is a great match for Liberty’s innovative tire processing and recycling capabilities, which will enable the combined company to drive increased sustainable reuse of scrap tires," Thomas Womble, Liberty Tire CEO.
