Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- Arcwood Environmental acquired Safeway Industrial Services and Safeway Environmental Services in Alabama, reinforcing waste transportation and management capabilities.
- Blackstone Energy Transition Partners (funds affiliated with Blackstone) acquired Alliance Technical Group (ATG), a Decatur-based provider of environmental testing, monitoring and compliance services.
- Quality Environmental Services (Caymus Equity-backed) acquired Lakeshore Environmental Contractors (LEC) to expand remediation and abatement reach across the Gulf Coast and Southeast.
- Waste and recycling also appear, including Circular Services acquiring Waste Recycling Inc. (WRI) with Alabama facilities in Montgomery, Anniston, Tuscaloosa and Opelika.
- A recurring pattern is platform building through add-ons or majority ownership, with multiple deals involving investors that already backed earlier investments (e.g., Caymus Equity and Ares Private Equity).
