Comvest Partners Announces Sale of Atomic Transport

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Comvest Partners (“Comvest”), a middle-market private equity and credit investment firm, today announced the sale of Atomic Transport (“Atomic”), a leading provider of specialized waste management services based in Chattanooga, Tenn. Atomic had been a portfolio investment of Comvest Credit Opportunities, Comvest’s opportunistic credit strategy, since 2021.

Atomic provides long-haul waste transport and transfer station management services to waste management companies nationwide. Since its formation in 2015, Atomic has expanded its operations to 30 customer waste terminals across 19 states, providing highly tailored solutions to transport municipal solid, liquid and construction and demolition waste from waste transfer stations to landfills.

“This successful outcome highlights Comvest’s ability to structure a flexible opportunistic credit solution as well as provide strategic and operational value-add,” said Derek Gould, a Managing Director of Comvest. “We are thrilled to have played a role in Atomic’s strong performance over the past four years and are very pleased that our firm’s resources were able to contribute so meaningfully to Atomic’s value creation process.”

Atomic’s revenue and EBITDA nearly tripled over Comvest’s investment period, during which Atomic added widely recognized industry veterans to its leadership team, made substantial investments in its equipment fleet, and enhanced its operating systems to ensure consistent delivery of best-in-class waste management services.

Shayne McCallie, Co-Founder and CEO of Atomic said, “Our partnership with Comvest has been pivotal to our ability to pursue transformational growth opportunities and drive significant value creation. We thank the Comvest team for their capital support, additive operating expertise and overall guidance.”
