Arcwood Environmental acquires Safeway Industrial Services
Arcwood Environmental recently acquired Safeway, an Alabama-based environmental services business.
Safeway operates through two coordinated divisions: Safeway Industrial Services, focused on specialized hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation, and Safeway Environmental Services, focused on field and environmental services. The acquisition adds to Arcwood’s capabilities and its operational presence across the Southeastern United States, the company reported.
“We continue to expand the breadth and depth of our field and environmental services platform with the addition of Safeway,” Arcwood CEO HP Nanda said in a news release. “Their expertise in specialized hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation, combined with strong customer relationships and an experienced team, strengthens our ability to serve customers nationwide.
“Just as importantly, we share a commitment to responsiveness and service excellence.”
Safeway employs approximately 60 people and operates a fleet of more than 100 tagged assets, including tankers, roll-offs, end dumps, vacuum trucks, and specialized trailers supporting both transportation and field operations. Safeway provides hazardous and non-hazardous waste hauling, industrial and chemical cleaning, tank cleaning, lab packing, remediation, emergency and spill response, and waste brokerage services.
The entire Safeway team, including management, will join Arcwood’s growing team, Arcwood said.
Safeway operates from three primary locations across Alabama.
“We have long admired and respected Arcwood and its leadership in the environmental services sector,” Safeway CEO Andrew Wood said. “Through this acquisition process, we’ve confirmed that our two companies have similar values: delivering for customers, advancing innovation, leading with safety, and working together as a team. We are excited to see all that we can accomplish together.”
Over the past 18 months, Arcwood has invested “hundreds of millions” of dollars in acquisitions, including of EBV, MXI, ERG Environmental Group, and Innovative Recycling Technologies, while also investing in organic growth. Combined, these moves expanded Arcwood’s geographic presence into the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast, while broadening the company’s capabilities.
