Strategic Expansion into the Western U.S.
Brian Recatto, president & CEO of Crystal Clean, highlighted the strategic significance of the acquisition, stating, “The acquisition of WRS has tremendous potential to advance our strategic priorities with increased access to the western U.S. market, synergies with our branch network and industrial services footprint, and an enhanced value proposition to large national accounts. Targeted investments in vertical integration are a core component of our strategy, and we are thrilled to welcome the WRS team into Crystal Clean.”
Growing National Footprint
Following the acquisition, Crystal Clean now operates more than 130 service branches, industrial services facilities, and waste recovery centres across the continental United States.
