VLS Recovery, a Houston-based provider of waste management, rail car cleaning, and barge cleaning and repair services, announced Dec. 3 that it has acquired JBR Environmental Services (JBR). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, JBR provides waste management, industrial cleaning and other environmental services to customers in the Southeast. As part of the transaction, JBR’s facility will operate within the VLS waste division and JBR President Rex Russell will continue to run the business.
"We are excited to build on our leadership position in the Southeast, and the JBR acquisition expands our portfolio of value-added services in the region. We look forward to welcoming the team to our organization," VLS CEO John Magee says.
"VLS Recovery's reputation and expertise in the waste processing industry makes them an ideal partner for JBR," Russell says. "With their support, we have the opportunity to leverage the full capabilities of the VLS platform to enhance our offerings to our existing customers. We look forward to working with John and the rest of the VLS team."
This acquisition marks VLS Recovery's fifth add-on acquisition since being acquired by Los Angeles-based Aurora Capital Partners in October 2017.
