Ironclad Environmental Solutions, a Kinderhook Industries portfolio company, has acquired US-based waste containment solutions provider Adler Tank Rentals from McGrath RentCorp for $265 million in cash.

With the acquisition, Ironclad Environmental Solutions anticipates to create a national platform for providing specialty waste management, transport, and containment solutions.

Ironclad Environmental Solutions also hopes to increase its service offerings, assets, and geographic footprint through the acquisition.

Adler Tank Rentals, which is based in Newark, New Jersey, offers liquid and solid containment solutions for storing hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
