Parsons has acquired environmental contractor TRS Group. The $36 million all-cash acquisition is aimed at boosting Parsons’ federal solutions and critical infrastructure segments.
TRS is known for its environmental remediation technology developed for cleaning hazardous and toxic substances from soil, groundwater and fire suppression systems, Parsons said Tuesday.
“The acquisition of TRS Group significantly enhances Parsons’ environmental remediation capabilities in both of our operating segments and serves as a force multiplier for our already industry-leading PFAS remediation solutions,” said Carey Smith, chair, president and CEO of Parsons and a seven-time Wash100 awardee.
Smith, Executive Mosaic 4×24 Group 1 Leadership chair, also expressed excitement over welcoming TRS employees into Parsons.
Also commenting on the acquisition, TRS President and CEO Brett Trowbridge said, “As we join forces, our collective goal is to lead the industry in creating impactful, sustainable projects that benefit communities and preserve natural resources.”
