Building environmental service platforms with a focus on creating long term value.

We are an investment firm focused on acquiring lower middle market companies in the environmental services industry.  We help high performing management teams maximize their potential and can become the succession plan for founder led owners that are looking to retire.

Our Approach

Buy good businesses and turn them into growth platforms. We help the company:

  1. Build-out strong management teams.

  2. Evolve into a high-performance culture that makes data driven decisions.

  3. Focus on a small number of KPIs that can maximize operating leverage and expand margins. 

  4. Empower the management team with tools and capital to accelerate growth through organic initiatives and add-on acquisitions.

Founded in 2015, the Castle team has over 30 years of combined experience investing in and growing companies, cumulatively working on over 100 transactions in excess of $5 billion in enterprise value.
