Being Acquired

Acquiring, Building & Supporting Essential Service Providers

We acquire businesses operating in essential infrastructure sectors, primarily waste management, water services, and environmental services.

The businesses we acquire represent years, often decades of effort, commitment, and expertise. We recognize the legacy behind each company and look for three key traits:

• A strong and committed management team
   
• A consistent record of profitability
   
• A foundation for sustainable, long-term growth
   

Sellers typically approach us for reasons such as retirement, succession planning, or pursuing new interests. Regardless of the reason, the owners we work with all share a common goal: they want to see their companies continue to thrive, aligned with the values and history that made them successful.

At Section E Group, we respect and preserve that legacy. After acquisition, companies continue operating under their existing brands, leadership, and culture with the added support and resources of a committed, long-term owner.
 

• We do not rebrand, restructure, or interfere unnecessarily.
   
• We offer operational and strategic support where it’s welcome, helping businesses strengthen their foundations and grow sustainably.
   
• Managers who are committed to excellence and open to new ideas find success within Section E Group.
