Emerald Alaska, a leading Alaska environmental services company, has been acquired by National Response Corp. from Emerald Services Inc., of Seattle, Washington.
Emerald Alaska has been one of Alaska’s top providers of environmental and emergency response solutions to the oil and gas industry for 11 years. Headquartered in Anchorage, with seven permitted facilities strategically located throughout the state, Emerald Alaska employs more than 100 people.
NRC is the leading commercial provider of United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 regulatory compliance services as well as a global provider of specialized environmental and emergency response solutions. Headquartered in Great River, New York, with regional offices throughout the U.S. and internationally, NRC has more than 1,000 employees globally.
Blake Hillis, president of Emerald Alaska, stated, “Emerald Alaska has built an excellent reputation as a high quality provider of environmental solutions throughout the state of Alaska. We are excited about moving forward as part of NRC and believe the combination of NRC and Emerald Alaska will enable us to continue to support and expand our services to our customers throughout the state. NRC’s suite of services perfectly complements the work Emerald Alaska does, and I am confident that this will make both companies stronger.”
Steve Candito, CEO of NRC, commented, “NRC has continued to expand its geographic presence in recent years and the addition of Emerald Alaska adds a strategic region to our domestic footprint. We believe the combination of NRC’s extensive capabilities and Emerald Alaska’s quality personnel, well-located facilities and proven track record makes for a strong strategic fit. We are very happy to welcome the Emerald Alaska team and look forward to growing NRC’s business in Alaska.”
Though now a part of the NRC family of companies, Emerald Alaska will continue to operate under the Emerald Alaska LLC, name.
