Quala recently reached an agreement to acquire Polar Service Centers (PSC).
The combination unites two companies with complementary nationwide networks of facilities offering container cleaning and maintenance services, Quala said. This acquisition will enhance both companies’ offerings in the marketplace by further expanding their overall geographic footprint, capacity, and capabilities.
Integration of the companies will be the “top priority” following the close of the deal, they said. Additional information will be available following the sale’s completion, expected to occur within the next two months.
“We feel that adding PSC to the Quala family will allow us to continue to grow our core service offerings while complementing our network across the U.S. and Canada,” said Scott Harrison, CEO of Quala. “The team is excited about this significant addition and believes it is only the beginning of a great future for its customers and the communities in which we operate.”
With a network of 89 locations across North America, Quala has a reputation for delivering quality cleaning services that are reliable, safe, and environmentally sound. PSC has 38 locations nationwide and has a history of providing best-in-class maintenance and parts services. PSC also provides container cleaning services at select locations.
“The joining of Quala and PSC is the perfect combination,” said Jerry Cignarella, president of PSC. “We’re very excited about the growth opportunities this transaction presents. We look forward to integrating our teams, operations, and complementary strengths to bring our customers an even broader range of solutions.”
The two companies will continue to operate independently during the closing period.
“Both teams remain committed to delivering the services our customers have come to expect,” the companies said.
