WASTEQUIP, LLC
CHARLOTTE, NC

WASTEQUIP, LLC, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., is a prominent North American manufacturer of waste handling equipment with extensive manufacturing and service facilities across the continent. Established as a privately held company, Wastequip has earned renown for its comprehensive product range that includes both steel and plastic solutions designed to collect, handle, and transport various types of waste and recyclables. The enterprise boasts a workforce of over 2,000 employees spread across 31 locations, underscoring its dominant position in the industry. Operating under four distinct divisions, Wastequip strategically consolidates leading brands known for quality and durability within the sector. This consolidation approach enables them to cater to both major national haulers and smaller regional clients with a focus on standardization, durable products, inventory availability, quick delivery, and exceptional customer service. The company traces its foundations to a vision aimed at integrating a highly fragmented waste equipment manufacturing industry into one cohesive unit capable of meeting expansive growth demands. Wastequip's acquisition strategy over the past two decades has fortified its status as an innovator, featuring prominent brands such as Galbreath, Cusco, Accurate, Mountain Tarp, Pioneer, and Toter. Each brand contributes distinct product lines, from vacuum trucks to carts, enabling Wastequip to deliver unparalleled services across various sectors including waste management, trucking, hardware, plastics, and consumer goods. This rich history of innovation is fueled by a robust investment in research and development. The company's expansive production and distribution network throughout the U.S. and Canada enhances its ability to serve clients on both local levels and large scales, delivering competitive advantages through economies of scale not available to smaller manufacturers. Wastequip maintains strong partnerships with key industry players and holds valuable long-standing customer relationships that form a formidable barrier to entry for competitors. Wastequip has been recognized for leadership excellence, notably when its General Counsel, Rich Sedory, received the 2018 Outstanding General Counsel of the Year award from the Charlotte Business Journal. In another significant corporate development, in February 2018, Wastequip announced an acquisition by H.I.G. Capital. Through initiatives like their partnership with Compology on innovative, image-based container sensors, Wastequip continues to push for advancements that support waste haulers and improve recycling processes. As a major player actively participating in industry events such as the 'Waste and Recycling Expo' and leveraging its expertise through collaborations, Wastequip remains at the forefront of driving innovation within waste management. Officially incorporated on July 29, 2012, with a current registered officer being Richard Sedory (Auth) from Patriot Container Acquisition Corp., Wastequip continues to expand its strategic footprint in environmental technology and sustainable solutions.
