Dr. Centofanti noted contributors to the company’s quarterly improvements, as well as the completion of a recent acquisition.
“We attribute our strong performance to increased treatment of higher activity and more complex waste streams. This has been a major focus over the past few years and represents an important growth opportunity going forward. At the same time, we remain focused on expanding our onsite services, which complement our traditional treatment services,” he concluded. “Toward this end, we are pleased to announce the completion of our acquisition of Safety and Ecology Holdings Corp. and its subsidiary, Safety and Ecology Corp.
