Home / News / Platinum Equity To Sell Yak Access To United Rentals For 1 1 Billion
LOS ANGELES (March 4, 2024) – Platinum Equity announced today the signing of a definitive agreement to sell Yak Access, LLC, Yak Mat, LLC and New South Access & Environmental Solutions, LLC (collectively, “Yak”) to United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) for approximately $1.1 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024, subject to limited contractual conditions. Yak is a leader in the North American matting industry with a fleet of approximately 600,000 hardwood, softwood, and composite mats providing surface protection across both construction and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) applications. Yak predominantly serves customers in the utility and midstream verticals. Over the past six years we worked with the Yak team to transform the business using the full range of Platinum’s M&A&O® tool kit. Yak has evolved into a well-managed, diversified industry leader ready to take the next step as part of United Rentals. Jacob Kotzubei, Co-President, Platinum Equity Platinum Equity acquired a controlling stake in Yak in 2018 from Jones Companies and Beasley Forest Products. “Over the past six years we worked with the Yak team to transform the business using the full range of Platinum’s M&A&O® tool kit,” said Platinum Equity Co-President Jacob Kotzubei. “Yak has evolved into a well-managed, diversified industry leader ready to take the next step as part of United Rentals.” The Yak divestiture marks the second time Platinum Equity has sold a business to United Rentals. In 2018, United Rentals acquired Blueline Rentals from Platinum Equity for $2.1 billion. “United Rentals is an outstanding partner and a great long-term fit for Yak going forward,” added Kotzubei. “Both companies have similar cultures with a shared commitment to safety, operational excellence and long-term customer relationships.” During Platinum’s stewardship, Yak diversified and expanded its service offerings, implemented digital tools to enhance the customer experience, and invested in R&D to enhance mat longevity. The company also acquired Klein’s Restoration Services, expanding Yak’s footprint in the Midwest. Following a successful restructuring of Yak’s balance sheet last year, the company’s momentum has accelerated as Yak entered 2024 with a strong backlog driven by continued new contract wins and sustained demand for its matting solutions. “We are proud of the work we did over the past six years and the value we created while navigating challenges posed by Covid-19 and fluctuations in the oil and gas market,” said Platinum Equity Managing Director Matthew Louie. “Ultimately Yak emerged a stronger, more capable and resilient company ready for the next chapter.” Houlihan Lokey and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC have provided certain assistance to Platinum Equity in connection with the sale of Yak. Morgan Lewis is providing legal counsel to Platinum Equity.

Solenis continues investment in growth; $193 million new plant expansion and key R&D investments underscore strategy
Home / News / Solenis Continues Investment In Growth 193 Million New Plant Expansion And Key Rd Investments Underscore Strategy
Solenis recently announced plans to invest $193 million in expanding existing operations in Suffolk, Va. Plans include the construction of an 80,000-square foot facility focused on production, packaging, and housing a tank farm. Solenis will also create a new rail spur for polyvinylamine (PVAm) polymer production. The project is anticipated to create 34 jobs. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership joined Solenis in the announcement regarding the facility located in the port region of Hampton Roads. “Solenis is a global leader in the specialty chemical industry with a 40-year history in the City of Suffolk, and this major investment and expansion demonstrates that manufacturing is thriving in the Commonwealth of Virginia,” Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said in a news release. “Hampton Roads has the skilled workforce, business climate, and logistics advantages, including our world-class port, to enable Solenis to add significant capacity to supply the international paper manufacturing market.” As demand rises for sustainable manufacturing operations, this new facility not only ensures we have capacity to supply the paper packaging market, it will also help us diversify into other applications that can drive additional growth. John Panichella, CEO, Solenis Headquartered in Wilmington, Del., Solenis is a global manufacturer of specialty chemicals used in water-intensive industries. “This investment is part of our ongoing commitment to provide value for customers while helping them advance their sustainability initiatives,” Solenis CEO John Panichella said. “As demand rises for sustainable manufacturing operations, this new facility not only ensures we have capacity to supply the paper packaging market, it will also help us diversify into other applications that can drive additional growth.” Last spring, Solenis opened a $5 million research and development facility in Monchengladbach, Germany. Later this year, Solenis will accelerate its investment in R&D with the $40 million expansion and relocation of its center near global headquarters in the Philadelphia area. The additions to Solenis’ global footprint will join fairly new facilities in China and Brazil. Platinum Equity acquired Solenis in 2021 for $5.25 billion. Last year, Solenis acquired Diversey in an all-cash transaction valued at $4.6 billion.

A wedge or thick heel is a great choice for a long day at the races, and we recommend stashing a pair of flats in your small tote as well.Men can achieve classic Derby style with a few simple touches. A note-worthy bow tie, a fedora or cap to protect against the long Derby sun, and a daring pop of color will bring out the Southern gentleman in everyone. Trouble with your bow-tie?
