Superior Environmental Solutions Expands Services with ChemWorx Acquisition

In a major strategic move to bolster its service capabilities, Superior Environmental Solutions (SES) has announced the acquisition of ChemWorx, a company specializing in chemical cleaning services. This transaction marks SES’s twelfth acquisition since its inception, highlighting its commitment to expanding its footprint in the industrial and environmental sectors.

Overview of the Acquisition

Located in Decatur, Alabama, ChemWorx has established a strong reputation for delivering specialized chemical cleaning services that enhance operational safety and equipment reliability. The company offers a broad array of innovative cleaning solutions, including high-pressure water jetting, vacuum equipment services, tank cleaning, and chemical degassing, tailored primarily for customers in the chemical, refining, and industrial sectors across the Midwest and Southeast regions.

With this acquisition, SES aims to enhance its existing product and service portfolio while delivering increased value to ChemWorx’s current customer base. The integration of ChemWorx's expertise in chemical cleaning will enable SES to deliver an even wider array of high-quality services designed to ensure the optimum performance of critical industrial assets.

Statement From Leadership

John Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of SES, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "ChemWorx adds a highly technical capability that we believe will further differentiate SES in the markets we serve. Their team has built strong customer relationships and a reputation for safe, high-quality execution. We’re excited to welcome ChemWorx to SES as we continue investing in capability expansion and regional growth with support from Palladium."

The founders of ChemWorx, John Hawkins and Jim Schexnayder, commented on the venture, saying, "We built ChemWorx by focusing on technical excellence, responsiveness, and safety. Joining SES gives our team additional resources and a broader platform to expand our reach while maintaining the high standards our customers expect. We’re looking forward to the opportunities ahead."

Continued Expansion in a Competitive Market

SES has been on a steady growth trajectory since its founding in 1999, positioning itself as a leader in providing essential environmental and industrial services. With the acquisition of ChemWorx, SES is not only expanding its technical capabilities but is also making strategic strides into key market areas, particularly in Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana, known for their vibrant industrial activities.

The expansion also aligns with SES’s overarching strategy of maintaining a firm commitment to safety and operational excellence, as evidenced by its rigorous safety protocols and excellent service delivery standards that it upholds across its operations.

As SES integrates ChemWorx into its operations, customers can expect to see enhanced service offerings, which should include not just chemical cleaning, but also improvements in the efficiency and reliability of existing industrial processes.

Financial details surrounding the acquisition have not been disclosed, but SES is backed by Palladium Equity Partners, which supports its ongoing strategy for growth and innovation in the industrial service sector.

The combination of SES’s extensive industry experience and ChemWorx’s specialized knowledge in chemical cleaning is anticipated to result in a compelling suite of services that address the evolving needs of industrial customers across the Southeast U.S. market.
