Savage Acquires Industrial and Environmental Field Services Company Sunpro

SALT LAKE CITY – Feb. 1, 2017 – Savage has increased its service capabilities by acquiring Midwest-based industrial and environmental field services company Sunpro, Inc. Founded in 1989, Sunpro provides emergency response and planned services including spill response, remediation and transportation of environmental waste, across a variety of industries. Sunpro currently operates nine facilities, supporting more than 100 customers in 12 states.

“We serve many of the same industries and customers, so there’s synergy in combining Sunpro’s environmental response capabilities with the industrial solutions Savage already provides,” said Kirk Aubry, Savage President and CEO. “We believe our 230-plus operating locations coupled with Sunpro’s expertise and success will greatly increase our ability to serve customers in more places.”

“Savage and Sunpro both have a strong commitment to safety and doing things right, and we are truly excited about this opportunity,” said Ken Kozak, Sunpro Vice President. “We expanded our operations last year, and our more than 120 team members are always quick to address customers’ specific environmental needs. Savage’s business information and operations systems will enable us to continue to improve our efficiency and provide even greater value for customers.”

Sunpro has service centers across the Midwest, in Toledo, Cleveland, North Canton and Steubenville, Ohio; Chicago and Galesburg, Illinois; Indianapolis and Elkhart, Indiana; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
