Stella Environmental acquires Rackleff Enterprises

Rackleff is a transfer station management company based in Statesboro, Georgia.

Stella Environmental Holdings Inc., a Hidden Harbor Capital Partners portfolio company that provides transfer station management and municipal waste logistics services based in Houston, has announced the purchase of Rackleff Enterprises LLC, expanding its geographic footprint, diversifying its customer base and strengthening its existing facility management, hauling and loading capabilities.

Headquartered in Statesboro, Georgia, and operating seven transfer stations in the southeast, Rackleff says it’s a transfer station management company with a 13-year track record of delivering exceptional service and results to its strong customer base in the municipal solid waste industry. 

“This acquisition strengthens our position in the transfer station management industry by expanding our reach and deepening our capabilities. Rackleff’s operational expertise and steadfast commitment to its customers align strongly with Stella’s core values, and its leadership position in the southeast will help drive our continued growth,” Wilfred Roth, CEO of Stella, says. 

“Rackleff has developed a great relationship with the Stella team over the past couple years, and we are excited to join such a strong, well respected company,” Kevin Rackleff, president of Rackleff, says.  “Joining a larger platform will allow us to pursue additional growth opportunities and gain operational efficiencies while continuing to exceed our customers’ expectations.”

Stella was formed as a standalone company after the acquisition by Hidden Harbor Capital Partners, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in August 2017. Stella’s acquisition of Rackleff Enterprises closed on Sept. 28, 2017.
