Goldman Sachs Alternatives to acquire reusable packaging pooler Tosca from Apax

Goldman Sachs Alternatives has agreed to acquire Tosca, a reusable plastic container, pallet and bulk bin pooling operator, from funds advised by Apax Partners. Tosca runs 63 service and wash centres serving more than 5,000 customers across 30 countries in North America and Europe. Completion is expected later in 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
