Tetra Tech to Acquire Cornerstone Environmental Group

Pasadena-based Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced Wednesday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Cornerstone Environmental Group of Middletown, New York and anticipates closing this transaction in May 2015.

Cornerstone is an environmental engineering and consulting firm focused on solid waste markets in the United States. The company has more than 160 employees and approximately $30 million in annual revenue.

“Utilities are faced with the challenge of responding to new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations related to coal combustion residuals disposal requirements,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech’s Chairman and CEO. “The acquisition of Cornerstone will expand our solid waste capabilities and geographic presence in the United States. As the top ranked U.S. solid waste and environmental management firm, the addition of Cornerstone enhances our ability to meet our clients’ increased needs in addressing these new regulations.”

Ken Karl, Cornerstone’s President, said, “This transaction represents an exciting new chapter in our business and an extraordinary opportunity for us to join a firm that broadens our technical capabilities for projects across waste management markets. Tetra Tech shares the same commitment to technical excellence and service that Cornerstone prides itself on providing to its clients.”

The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Cornerstone is joining Tetra Tech’s Resource Management & Energy segment.
