LRS announces the acquisition of GHW, a locally owned and operated waste company based in Indianapolis. The acquisition marks a strategic expansion into the Indianapolis market, enhancing LRS’s commercial and industrial service capabilities while supporting the company’s long-term growth plan.
“GHW has built a strong reputation with a loyal customer base in a market that is primed for growth,” said Matt Spencer, Chief Executive Officer of LRS. “Bringing GHW into the LRS family allows us to expand our Midwest footprint while maintaining the local, customer-focused service that GHW is known for. This is a best-in-class ownership group backed by a hardworking, high-integrity team, and we’re excited to welcome them to LRS.”
GHW will continue operating under its existing brand during the transition period. Customers may begin to see LRS-branded containers and equipment in the area, but the local GHW team, leadership, and service model will remain in place. LRS is committed to maintaining continuity while supporting the team with additional resources and long-term growth opportunities.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to join forces with LRS,” said Kevin Walbridge, speaking on behalf of GHW partners Jim Gamage, Troy Hintze, and himself. “This partnership provides added resources and capabilities for our customers and employees, while preserving the values and service standards that have defined GHW.”
