IG Announces Completed Transaction for Environmental Remediation Services Provider

Buyer is assembling group of portfolio companies in remediation space

January 2021 - The Independence Group (IG) has completed the transaction for an Environmental Remediation Services Provider in an acquisition by a family investment group. 

The Company is located in the Eastern U.S. where it specializes in in-situ remediation solutions and environmental drilling. Its customers include leading environmental consulting firms in public and private sectors. With more than 1,500 remedial projects completed, it holds multiple patents and applications for injection and dechlorination methods. The Company’s staff of microbiologists, chemists, and engineers continually design and implement new and unique technologies for the industry.

 The acquisition will facilitate the Buyer’s objective of assembling a group of companies in the environmental remediation space. The Company is a strong addition to the Buyer’s portfolio due to its experienced management team that will stay on to assist in implementation of the growth strategy and achieve maximum profitability. There is also great potential for synergies between the Company and others in the portfolio.

 Barclay Bright, IG's Consultant covering the Eastern region, worked with the two parties to determine the best deal structure. “The Seller and the Buyer were a great match from the beginning, but we had to do some fine-tuning as we went through the due diligence process,” says Bright. "What started out as a 100% sale turned into a minority recapitalization and the outcome was successful for everyone." 

 With offices in California, on the East Coast, in the Upper Midwest and in Texas, IG represents clients from across the U.S. The firm works in tandem with its buy-side services division, Acquisition Partners (AP), to provide a full range of M&A services. For more information about AP visit www.acq.partners.
