COLUMBUS, Ohio., Sept. 19, 2017 -- Effective September 18, 2017, Clean Water Ltd. exited receivership with substantially all assets and operations transferred to Clean Water Environmental, an affiliate of Hunting Dog Capital LLC. Clean Water Environmental emerges from Clean Water Ltd.’s receivership where the company has had the time and resources to restructure and reinvigorate its operations.

Clean Water Environmental’s broad service offering positions it as a true partner to help customers focus on their business, while providing peace of mind that their environmental needs are handled professionally.

“Clean Water has been a regional supplier in the environmental services business for over 25 years, bringing a high level of expertise to our customers and industry partners,” said John Staton, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Water Environmental. “We are confident that with new ownership, experienced leadership and a renewed commitment to the communities in which we operate that our customers will remain loyal and grow with us. We plan to invest in our communities with new jobs and local support programs, so that Clean Water Environmental can improve our customers’ operations, our employees’ welfare and the overall environment.”

“We are excited to officially take ownership under the Hunting Dog Capital umbrella so we can focus on rebuilding customer relationships, restoring confidence with our partners and expanding the business,” said Chris Allick, Managing Member and Co-Founder at Hunting Dog Capital. “The potential for Clean Water Environmental to continue to service current customers as well as grow the service offerings is founded in the leadership of John Staton and the many employees that have been with the company for several years.
