Business Wire
Clean Harbors, Inc. ("Clean Harbors") (NASDAQ: CLHB), the leading
provider of environmental and hazardous waste management services
throughout North America, today announced that on August 18, 2006,
it completed the acquisition of Teris L.L.C., an environmental
services company based in Dallas, Texas. Clean Harbors acquired all
of the membership interests in Teris for approximately $52.7
million in cash, including $10.3 million in net working capital,
from SITA U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Suez Environnement, S.A.
"Teris' operations represent an ideal fit with our existing
disposal facilities," said Alan S. McKim, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "Our investment in Teris further improves our
ability to service our customers and demonstrates our commitment to
maintaining the largest array of service offerings in our industry.
We believe that we can leverage our North American network of waste
collection and routing capabilities and underutilized rail assets
to achieve substantial cost efficiencies and dramatic gains in
productivity at Teris' operations." Teris operates an incineration
facility in El Dorado, Arkansas and a treatment, storage and
disposal facility located in Wilmington, California. The company
currently has more than 550 employees and several field locations.
In 2005, Teris reported revenue of approximately $95 million. Clean
Harbors expects some limited customer attrition. The transaction
offers several opportunities for synergies, particularly in the
area of outsourced transportation, and is expected to be accretive
by year-end. In the coming weeks, Clean Harbors will begin a
comprehensive evaluation of Teris' operations to better gauge the
revenue contribution going forward and level of operating costs
required by the acquisition. "We have commenced the integration
process and anticipate completing the implementation of our primary
processes and systems in a relatively short period of time," said
McKim. "We are pleased to welcome the Teris team to Clean Harbors.
Working together, we believe this transaction will be beneficial to
both Teris' employees and the existing customers of both
companies." About Clean Harbors, Inc. Clean Harbors, Inc. is North
