ENPRO has approximately 250 employees and operates two waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The company is headquartered north of Boston in Newburyport, MA (www.enpro.com). “NRC has continued to expand its geographic presence in recent years and the addition of ENPRO adds a strategic region to our domestic footprint,” said Paul Taveira, CEO of NRC.
NRC is a provider of environmental, emergency response, and industrial services, including industrial cleaning and maintenance, HAZMAT emergency response, oil spill response and cleanup, industrial firefighting and rescue, waste management, site remediation, and abatement. NRC is the largest commercial oil spill response organization in the US and has operations worldwide. The company has approximately 1,000 employees and is headquartered on Long Island in Great River, NY with regional offices throughout the US and internationally (www.nrcc.com).
“NRC has continued to demonstrate strong growth by expanding its geographic footprint and depth of service offerings since our acquisition in March 2012. ENPRO is a continuation of this strategy as it brings strategic facilities throughout the Northeast as well as new services to NRC’s portfolio,” said Alex Harman, Partner at J.F. Lehman & Company.
