Client need
The ownership team of Environmental Waste Minimization, Inc. (EWMI) and Rapid Response Inc. (RRI), after owning and operating the businesses for over 30 years, sought a succession plan that allowed them to realize the value in the businesses they built and provide employees with opportunities for growth.
EWMI delivers comprehensive environmental solutions including waste transportation and disposal, remediation and field services, demolition and decommissioning, soil management and lab pack services to a variety of engineering, industrial and municipal clients across the country. Through its affiliate, RRI, EWMI also provides 24/7 emergency spill response services.
Baker Tilly Capital solution
During the sale process, Baker Tilly Capital, LLC (Baker Tilly Capital) contacted suitable strategic and private equity buyers to find the right partner for EWMI. Baker Tilly Capital guided the ownership team through each step of the sale process. The ownership team selected Triumvirate Environmental, a leading provider of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) services, to move forward with a transaction.
Results
With Baker Tilly Capital’s assistance, EWMI and RRI received several offers and, ultimately, were acquired by Triumvirate Environmental, a portfolio company of Berkshire Partners.
