Viably Acquires Harp Renewables to Expand Organic Waste Processing Capabilities
Equipment provider Viably has acquired modular aerobic digestion unit manufacturer Harp Renewables, expanding its portfolio of waste processing solutions. The acquisition allows Viably to vertically integrate a product it previously distributed and aims to deploy more widely in the growing organics market. Harp's systems are used globally at locations such as hospitals, universities, and rendering plants, with units capable of handling between 250 and 20,000 pounds per day. Viably President Brandon Lapsys emphasized that there is no single solution for food waste management, highlighting the need for diverse tools. The company plans to integrate Harp's digesters into broader processing facilities by combining them with pre- and post-treatment systems. Viably also aims to expand its deployment of these units three to four times over five years. The acquisition is part of a strategic shift following Viably’s 2023 rebrand from Komptech Americas, as the company seeks to position itself as a comprehensive provider in waste processing equipment and infrastructure.
