This non-exclusive reseller agreement will help accelerate the growth of Rubicon’s presence in the region and allows Bartec to license Rubicon’s suite of innovative software-based products to cities and counties across the United Kingdom, with a focus on the use of Rubicon’s market-leading route optimization and sequencing technology. As Rubicon builds on its existing footprint in markets around the world, new partnerships with regional channel leaders such as Bartec will play a central part in the Company’s global expansion strategy.

Founded in 1992, Bartec is a leading supplier of environmental and service management software to UK local authorities. Bartec provides service management systems to organizations that share its mission of improving public services. Working in major cities, small boroughs, and large unitary authorities in England, Scotland, and Wales, 3,500 frontline municipal crews in almost 100 councils use Bartec’s systems every day.

“We are delighted to be working with Bartec to improve upon their technology offering. Together, our goal is to support sustainable public service operations in the United Kingdom,” said Renaud de Viel Castel, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Global Expansion at Rubicon. “As Rubicon continues to expand its global reach, we are benefiting more cities, counties, and residents around the world with sustainable, efficient, and scalable waste and recycling technology.”

Rubicon partners with businesses and governments worldwide to advance the Company’s mission through zero-waste, landfill diversion, and smart city solutions. Rubicon’s SaaS offerings help waste collection companies and local governments of all sizes digitize their operations while advancing their environmental goals.

“Our decades of experience working in the UK market, combined with Rubicon’s industry-leading technology, gives us a unique opportunity to create real change in this sector,” said Tim Hobbs, Managing Director of Bartec Municipal Technologies. “We are excited to be a part of this agreement, and we look forward to working with Rubicon for years to come to help create a more sustainable world.”
