VLS Environmental Solutions acquires Samex Environmental

VLS Environmental Solutions, a leader in environmental services and compliance, has acquired Samex Environmental, a San Diego based provider of hazardous waste fuel blending and recycling services. With state-of-the-art processing facilities in Tijuana, Mexico, and fleet of transportation assets, the acquisition of Samex strengthens VLS’ presence on the West Coast and enhances its portfolio with Samex’s industry expertise and innovative solutions.

For over 30 years, Samex has been known for its solvent distillation and fuel blending programs. The company’s innovative transborder recycling program, which leverages a network of cement kilns, reduces carbon emissions by keeping waste processing local.

By integrating Samex, VLS now offers one of the most comprehensive waste management portfolios in the region, serving industries ranging from petrochemicals to pharmaceuticals.

The combined company has over 1,400 employees and 50+ locations nationwide. The acquisition of Samex Environmental is the fourteenth acquisition by VLS Environmental Solutions. VLS is actively pursuing both organic and inorganic opportunities to continue to expand its environmental solutions capabilities to support the sustainability goals of its clients.
