National Waste Partners announces that it has purchased J-Mec, Inc., from its owners and founders, Jim and Michelle Mechler. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition of J-Mec represents an important step in helping National Waste Partners achieve its strategic objectives of expanding both its sales and service offerings while further supporting its growing portfolio of rental assets.
Founded in 1992 by owners Jim and Michelle Mechler, J-Mec is the Midwest’s leading distributor, installer and service provider of waste and recycling related equipment and has a long-standing reputation for product selection, creative problem solving, and service excellence. With a team of over 40 technicians and fabricators, world-class facilities, and a large fleet of field service trucks and semi-tractor trailers, the company is able to deliver its superior sales and service expertise to customers within the greater Midwest region as well as across the United States.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Jim Mechler will acquire an ownership interest in National Waste and assume a key management role within the organization. Jim will be joining National Waste as its Midwest VP of Operations. In this capacity, Jim will lead the Wisconsin and Illinois-based service businesses, which service the surrounding six state area, as well as the organization’s national service team, which focuses on large and complex projects (e.g. transfer stations and material recovery systems).
“Jim and Michelle have built and led an exceptional organization… one we are proud to be rolling into our platform” commented Brian Gibson, CEO of National Waste. “J-Mec – its people and processes – bring a deep level of expertise and a proven track record of building and running a high performing sales and service organization. We look forward to working with the entire J-Mec team to further leverage our collective businesses toward our shared vision to better serve our customers and the industries in which they operate.”
“We’re excited to join forces with the National Waste team” said Jim Mechler, co-founder and CEO of J-Mec. “Brian and the National Waste team are building a much-needed national platform of diverse offerings in the compaction arena, and we’re looking forward to playing a role in its go-forward success. Our combined businesses, well aligned strategic initiatives, and the financial backing of a long-term equity partner will result in differentiated product and service offerings for our customers.”
