Crystal Clean Expands Its Portfolio with New Acquisitions

In a significant move to enhance its capabilities in the environmental services sector, Crystal Clean, Inc. has officially finalized its acquisitions of Premium Environmental Services, Inc. (PES) and the combined operations of Worldwide Recovery Systems, Inc. (WRS) and YES Management, Inc. (trading as Yuma Environmental Services).

Overview of the Acquisitions

Located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, Crystal Clean is a respected leader in providing specialized solutions related to environmental services and waste management for commercial and industrial sectors. The acquisition of PES, headquartered in Newburgh, Indiana, positions Crystal Clean to address spill response and waste disposal needs effectively and efficiently. PES is known for its strong contractor network, which offers nationwide emergency response coverage around the clock, ensuring clients can manage environmental release liabilities without delay. This capability allows Crystal Clean to expand its footprint significantly on the eastern side of the U.S.

In addition, WRS, based in Pomona, California, significantly bolsters Crystal Clean's offerings. The company focuses primarily on waste collection, transportation, and disposal services in California and Arizona, while also providing specialized services such as lab packing and oil filter processing. Furthermore, YES operates a non-hazardous waste transfer station in Yuma, Arizona, further enhancing operational capabilities in the western U.S.

Strategic Implications

Brian Recatto, President and CEO of Crystal Clean, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the acquisitions, stating, “The acquisitions of PES and WRS each have tremendous potential to advance our strategic priorities with increased access to the eastern and western U.S. markets.” He noted the synergies these acquisitions will create within their branch network and industrial services footprint, thus enhancing value propositions for large national accounts. Recatto emphasized the importance of targeted investments in vertical integration as a core part of Crystal Clean’s growth strategy.

Chairman of Crystal Clean and Partner at J.F. Lehman Company, Glenn Shor, emphasized the fit of the new acquisitions within their merger and acquisition strategy. He reflected on how the company had successfully completed three acquisitions in just 15 months of their investment in Crystal Clean and remarked about the robust nature of the Environmental Services market.

Looking Ahead

The strategic acquisition of PES and WRS is expected to not only enhance Crystal Clean's operational capabilities but also solidify its standing as a leading market player in the environmental services sector. The potential for increased service offerings and operational efficiencies is substantial, providing an avenue for substantial growth moving forward.

Crystal Clean is dedicated to offering innovative solutions aimed at minimizing clients' regulatory burdens while managing their liquid and solid wastes. Their extensive service spectrum includes parts cleaning, bulk waste management, used oil collection and recycling, wastewater vacuum services, and emergency spill responses.

As Crystal Clean continues to expand its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, it sets a strong precedent within the industry, indicating its commitment to sustainability and exceptional service. This growth not only benefits their operational scope but also enhances the environmental stewardship of their clientele across various sectors, reinforcing the importance of responsible waste management practices.
