Primary Insight
What Stands Out
- Recycling and waste collection scale-up appears in deals such as GFL Environmental acquiring Plummer's Environmental Services and Titan Environmental Solutions acquiring Standard Waste Services.
- Remediation and hazardous services are reinforced by acquisitions like Arcwood Environmental acquiring ERG Environmental and ENTACT (with J.F. Lehman & Company) acquiring White Lake Dock & Dredge.
- Aquatic services and dredging specialties show up with TIGRIS Aquatic Services acquiring LakePro, Inc. and a separate pond/lake management partnership involving Jones Lake Management.
- Investment-backed platforms often pursue add-ons to broaden service offerings and expand operating footprints within Michigan and the broader Great Lakes region.
