Strengthens Abundia’s vertically integrated business strategy by expanding operations, capabilities and value proposition of its scalable waste-to-value model; recognizes immediate revenue stream
Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. (NYSE American: AGIG) (“Abundia” or the “Company”), a low-carbon energy solutions company focused on converting biomass and plastics waste into high-value low-carbon fuels, today announced that it has completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of RPD Technologies Americas, LLC (“RPD”), a scale-up project development firm focused on the design, construction, operations of pilot plants and consulting services. The Acquisition was completed and effective on April 1, 2026.
Abundia – RPD Acquisition Strategic Highlights
Establishes Additional Revenue Stream and Long-term Conversion Pipeline: Adds revenue generating business to Abundia’s financial profile with longer term realization of high-margin economics to deliver on the Company’s commitment to drive shareholder value
Increased Scale and Operational Capabilities: Adds a new business vertical offering an existing customer base, long-term opportunity pipeline and team of scale up project development and engineering experts in refining, petrochemical and renewables that establishes this unit as a core competency
Expands Vertically Integrated Waste-to-Value Model: Integrates into Abundia's model bringing development and scale up capabilities in-house and increases exposure to the full economic value chain of its waste-to-value vertically integrated platform
Strengthens Competitive Advantage to Form a Resilient Business: Distinguishes Abundia’s market position as a waste-to-value supply chain consolidator while strengthening and diversifying its operations and financial performance
“We’ve entered the second quarter with strong momentum led by the acquisition of RPD, fulfilling another meaningful milestone for Abundia,” said Ed Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Abundia. “This strategic execution underscores our disciplined approach to high value M&A opportunities that enhance our business’s ability to operate across the waste-to-value chain as a fully integrated producer of renewable products. RPD’s services business creates diversification within Abundia’s capabilities and complements the renewable products business. In parallel, we gain immediate top line growth from a revenue generating business with an established pipeline of future business. Over time, we believe RPD’s long-term opportunities will grow as we relocate its operations to the Innovation Center, currently under construction and specifically designed to cater to larger projects, positioning RPD for expansion.”
“Importantly, by converging RPD’s capabilities and its highly skilled team with Abundia’s waste-to-value project, we unlock a valuable cog in our current development cycle that strengthens our vertical integration strategy. Of particular focus is RPD’s proven track record in the development and scaling of processes in the petrochemical and renewable energy industries. This new unit will organically accelerate the company’s trajectory by assisting in the next phase of engineering the Biomass technology stack,” concluded Mr. Gillespie.
RPD initiated operations in 2019 as a project developer within the energy space offering engineering and design support for the development, scale up and commercialization of new technologies focused on refining, petrochemical and renewables. RPD’s team of approximately twenty (20) employees and engineers augment Abundia’s business with expertise in operations, engineering, process safety and quality control, and technical mechanics with a combined 100+ years of chemical engineering scale-up experience.
Revenue generated by RPD will be recognized as total revenue in Abundia’s second quarter 2026 financial statements and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filings. RPD will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Abundia, maintaining its existing team, customer relationships, and project pipeline, while benefiting from the integration within Abundia’s broader platform.
Abundia’s acquisition of RPD aligns with its long-term strategic priorities reflected in the establishment of an incremental revenue-generating core competency under its vertically integrated waste-to-value business model. Abundia will benefit from RPD’s existing pipeline and revenue stream and favorably positions the Company to generate long-term value to shareholders. Additionally, the Acquisition demonstrates Abundia’s disciplined and strategic M&A approach, adding a services vertical that accelerates value generation. As a unit of Abundia, the RPD team will be well positioned to grow and expand operations, assets, and capabilities, supporting operating and revenue growth as it scales into a larger business.
