She is a Sales and Service Representative (SSR) with a contagious amount of charisma and became a proud member of the Crystal Clean team in 2021. Behind her, you’ll see an impressive trail of success that shows she has a promising future with Crystal Clean.

Courtney started her journey at Crystal Clean as a Branch Clerical in Dallas until she made the transition to become an SSR in Fort Worth. Her reasoning to wanting to become an SSR stems from her desire to help the people around her.  She prides herself at work by seeing how much of a positive impact she can leave when visiting the customers on her routes. Maintaining a strong drive for a task regardless of its size is just one of the traits that Courtney has that leaves Crystal Clean’s customers more than satisfied with the service they receive.

“She always impressed me with her professionalism dealing with customers” shared Todd Rohde, Divisional Vice President. “The way she supported customers as a Branch Clerical made her a perfect fit to be someone out in the field working face-to-face with our customers.”

Courtney lives out many of Crystal Clean’s values every day. Some of the most notable that make an impact in her day-to-day activities are accountability, respect, and safety. Being accountable is crucial for the environmental industry. Managing customer waste streams is something that our SSR’s deal with every day.  Once this waste is moved onto our trucks it becomes our responsibility and the accountability of our employees is what ensures the waste is properly managed.

Courtney stated, “You have to be accountable for your route and the image you present. From start to finish, we represent Crystal Clean through ourselves and our work”.

Respect is a value she holds in high regard as she always wants to help make people’s days better whenever possible. She said, “It is important to respect your coworkers, customers and the company itself”.

What might be the most important value to Courtney is safety. Safety is what ensures each person on the job gets to go home in good health. Courtney brought up how there are multiple safety checks in the SSR position that are there to keep employees and the environment safe.

She stays sharp by setting up challenges for herself that she has witnessed other SSR’s experience so that when the time comes, she’s prepared and ready. One of the notable milestones Courtney accomplished as her first steps to becoming an SSR was completing her CDL courses, as well as tanker and hazmat endorsements.  Courtney has a strong desire to want to succeed at any task and finds joy in making people’s lives easier, which made her a perfect fit for a Crystal Clean SSR.

“One of the things that has impressed me the most about Courtney is her attitude.  She has a very upbeat demeanor which is contagious,” said Fort Worth’s Branch Manager, Toby Knight when asked about Courtney. He went on to say, “She has meshed with our group well in Fort Worth and we are all proud to have her on the team.”

When asked her thoughts on the direction of Crystal Clean for the next 10 years Courtney said, “I hope to see the company expand and have more ownership of the waste facilities we use”.

Outside of work, Courtney enjoys spending time out with her friends and family gatherings with her siblings. She also has a 22-year-old son who she is very proud of and eager to see him succeed. She is also an avid fan of basketball and football. Her favorite teams are the LA Clippers and the LA Raiders and appreciates the chance to see them when they play in Texas.

What many people might not know about Courtney is that she has a background in construction. She was a professional electrician for over 2 years until she decided to move to a career path that enabled her to fulfill her passion for helping others.

When asked about her dream job within the company, Courtney expressed an interest in Human Resources, citing the opportunity to work closely with people as her motivation. It is clear to everyone who meets Courtney that she is a people person and would be suited to any position where she is able to help others.

Courtney has a great set of values and a drive to want to improve that contributes to her success as a Crystal Clean SSR.

We are glad to have someone like her on our team and feel confident that she will continue to impress others throughout her Crystal Clean career.

Employee Spotlight – Chuck Sizemore

As an environmental services company, one of Crystal Clean’s top priorities is to deliver services that promote safety and sustainability. A major piece of the puzzle is the importance of knowing the type of materials that are being collected, how to properly classify them, knowing what regulations apply, and ultimately what is the proper way to manage the waste.

A large part of Crystal Clean’s operations rely on the waste approvals process to ensure the safety of our employees and the environment through proper compliance. That’s where Crystal Clean’s Waste Approvals department comes in, led by Chuck Sizemore. As the Waste Approvals Manager, safety is a top priority for Chuck, stemming from his background in chemistry and a passion for compliance. He is dedicated to helping the field stay safe and ensuring the company is in compliance with regulations.

Chuck has worked in the environmental services industry for more than a decade and is a dedicated member of the Crystal Clean team that is making his mark in the EHS department at our corporate office in Hoffman Estates. Chuck’s journey at Crystal Clean has been nothing short of remarkable. Here’s an insight into his experiences and insights, shedding light on his career path, daily routine, and his perspective on life inside and outside of work.

Chuck initially joined Crystal Clean in the spring of 2007. Although he took a brief hiatus in 2015 to move to the Coachella Valley in California, he rejoined the team in 2018, demonstrating his strong commitment to the industry.

When Chuck started with Crystal Clean in 2007, the company was still in its early stages and the Waste Approvals department was a small team handling various responsibilities. Chuck had to wear many hats, working on approvals, permitting, reporting, and even renewing emissions for AFS vans. As the company grew over the years, his role evolved into the manager of the Waste Approvals department, taking on numerous challenges that came with the position.

A typical day for Chuck involves handling requests from the field to ensure everyone’s safety and compliance. He works with an impressive team that comes from various backgrounds relating to the environmental industry. His team plays a key role in keeping the company in compliance with EPA, DOT, and OSHA regulations. The waste approvals team helps keep Crystal Clean in compliance from the time materials are picked up from a customer, during transportation, while it’s in our facilities, and to the end processing site.

“Chuck has done an excellent job of leading his team towards success and promoting the importance of compliance and how it impacts the safety of those in the field,” shared Anita Decina, Crystal Clean’s VP of Operational, Safety & Environmental Excellence. “His team supports our sales force every day, answering emails and phone calls to help them maintain compliance and provide customers the service and excellence Crystal Clean is known for.”

Chuck thrives on problem-solving and finds that his ability to explain complex processes is a key trait that has contributed to his success. He encourages his team and coworkers to ask questions and believes that communication is essential for learning and improvement.          

When asked about what keeps his team working together so efficiently, Chuck shared this insight. “I encourage my group to ask questions. Not just to me, but to coworkers as well. You can learn from anyone by asking questions.”

The Waste Approvals department plays a critical role for Crystal Clean’s entire field sales and service staff. Chuck’s team has a vital role in ensuring proper waste characterization, disposal categorization, and routing. They also help with technical support, making the profiling process more manageable for the field staff and beneficial for customers.

“There are many people counting on the Waste Approvals department each day at Crystal Clean, and I want to help as many of them as I can” shared Chuck when on the topic of his team’s duty towards the field.

Chuck enjoys the puzzle-solving aspect of the waste approvals process, where each waste stream presents a unique challenge to address. As a manager, he fosters teamwork, encourages his team to discuss work issues with colleagues, and emphasizes the importance of collaborative decision-making. Chuck lives out Crystal Clean’s values by forming strong relationships to ensure effective teamwork. He believes that everyone’s ability to work together will lead to our success.

Outside of work, Chuck has a rich family life, with a wife and two young children, along with a dog and a couple of parakeets. He’s a man of diverse interests, holding three chemistry degrees with a minor in medieval studies.

Looking ahead, Chuck is excited to watch Crystal Clean continue expanding its capabilities as the company grows, allowing it to consistently exceed the needs and expectations of customers. Chuck’s dedication, problem-solving skills, and commitment to safety make him a valuable member of Crystal Clean, and he looks forward to continuing his journey with the company.

Employee Spotlight – Kenny McDaniel

At Crystal Clean, the reason we are successful is because of the grit and drive of our employees. Our team is why we’re able to provide premier, environmentally sustainable solutions to our customers. From the truck to the office and our operating facilities, we couldn’t be where we are today without our team.

Crystal Clean’s operations team are sometimes the unsung heroes that customers don’t always hear from. They are running things behind the scenes to make sure everything is prepared and goes where it needs to go. Crystal Clean’s antifreeze services team is one group where the field and operations groups are constantly communicating with one another to ensure customers receive the service and products they expect from a leading environmental company.

Crystal Clean is one of the largest antifreeze recyclers in North America and operates five antifreeze recovery centers across the nation. Out at the Battle Creek antifreeze recovery center, you’ll meet Kenny McDaniel and his operations team. Kenny is the facility manager and leads a team that reclaims used antifreeze collected from Crystal Clean’s sales and service representatives to produce new antifreeze products. The new product goes back to customers and creates a sustainable, closed-loop system that is cost-effective and reduces waste.

“I love being able to do what I do at Crystal Clean,” Kenny shared. “I’ve been in the business for more than 20 years, and it still amazes me how we’re able to take used antifreeze and transform it into a new product. The science behind the pre-treatment, distillation, and blending process keeps on improving and that is helping us create a premium product year-after-year.”

When you walk into the Battle Creek antifreeze recovery center, it can be easy to get overwhelmed initially with everything you see. Pipes, valves, racks, towers, machinery, and loading docks are all around you. Things are always moving with operators running equipment, loading and offloading trucks, testing product quality, and more.

“Our facility operates 24/7, so there are plenty of moving pieces to keep track of,” Kenny said. “Organization is key to running a facility like this and my goal is to make sure our team has everything they need to work effectively. I’m constantly planning to ensure we have enough feedstock to create our product, plenty of containers to store product in, and that we have transportation coordinated for receiving materials and shipping finished product.”
The Battle Creek facility is one of Crystal Clean’s largest antifreeze recovery centers and is continuing to expand as the company’s antifreeze service line grows. On average, the facility processes more than 160,000 gallons of antifreeze each month!

“Kenny’s leadership and his team at the Battle Creek facility are why the facility is operating at such a high level of excellence,” said Manny Robles, Crystal Clean’s Antifreeze Recycling Operations Manager. “It takes a lot of planning and coordination to run an antifreeze recovery operation, and they continue to exceed production goals month after month.”

The success of the Battle Creek recovery center come from not just one person alone. Kenny shared that the excellence his team brings in each day is vital to their success and that he is there to support them so that they can do their jobs well. One of the first things Kenny does when he comes in for the day is check-in with all of the operators to make sure everything is running well. He also puts a big emphasis on frequent communication and asking questions.

“We couldn’t do what we do without the amazing team we have at the facility,” Kenny said. “Communication is key and I’m always listening to ideas from my team on how we can improve things at the facility to operate more safely and efficiently. We all take pride in working here and the team genuinely cares about what’s going on with one another. We’re all in this together.”

Reflecting on his time at Crystal Clean, Kenny is excited for the things ahead. Sustainability is an important value to him, and he is proud to play a role at a company with the vision of helping the business world run cleaner. He is grateful for the opportunities he’s been given and how it has helped him develop into the leader he is today. Kenny is looking forward to what’s next as Crystal Clean continues to grow.

Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. Announces Expiration of “Go-Shop” Period Contained in Previously Announced Merger Agreement

Acquisition by J.F. Lehman & Company Remains on Track to Close in Fourth Quarter of 2023

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – August 24, 2023 – Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (Nasdaq: HCCI) (“Crystal Clean” or the “Company”), a leading provider of parts cleaning, hazardous and non-hazardous waste services, used oil re-refining, antifreeze recycling, industrial and field services, and emergency and spill response services, today announced the expiration of the 35-day “go-shop” period pursuant to the terms of the previously announced definitive merger agreement pursuant to which an investment affiliate of J.F. Lehman & Company (“JFLCO”), a leading private equity investment firm focused on the aerospace, defense, maritime and environmental sectors, has agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of Crystal Clean common stock for $45.50 per share in cash, or approximately $1.2 billion. The “go-shop” period expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 23, 2023.

During the “go-shop” period, at the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors, Crystal Clean and representatives of William Blair & Company, financial advisor to the Company, engaged with or actively solicited alternative acquisition proposals from 53 potentially interested parties with respect to a possible alternative transaction to the merger. Crystal Clean did not receive any competing acquisition proposals during the “go-shop” period.

Upon expiration of the “go-shop” period, pursuant to the definitive merger agreement with JFLCO, Crystal Clean became subject to customary “no-shop” provisions that limit Crystal Clean and its representatives’ ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties or to provide confidential information to third parties, subject to customary “fiduciary out” provisions.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Crystal Clean stockholders and the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Upon completion of the transaction, Crystal Clean will become a privately held company and shares of Crystal Clean common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange or trade in any other public market.

Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Hoffman Estates, IL, August 9, 2023 — Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (Nasdaq: HCCI), a leading provider of parts cleaning, hazardous and non-hazardous waste services, used oil re-refining, antifreeze recycling, industrial and field services, and emergency and spill response services today announced results for the second quarter which ended June 30, 2023.

To view the financial results for the 2023 second quarter, please visit our financial releases page

Second Quarter Review

Beginning with our 2023 fiscal year, we changed our financial reporting cycle to a calendar year-end and end-of-month quarterly reporting cycle. The second quarter of 2023 includes 5 additional working days as a result of our fiscal quarter change. We estimate that the additional working days resulted in an increase in revenues of 7.8% in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022 for the Environmental Services and Industrial & Field Services segments. Absent the significant decrease in base oil pricing, we would have otherwise estimated a similar impact in the Oil Business from the change in fiscal quarter.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $192.2 million compared to $156.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 22.7%.

Overall operating profit decreased by $9.5 million and as a percentage of revenue decreased to 19.3% compared to 29.7% during the second quarter of 2022. This decrease in profit margin was driven primarily by the decrease in revenues in the Oil Business segment as well as higher costs due to lower solvent and oil inventory values, and higher re-refinery turnaround expenses. Our second quarter corporate SG&A expense was $23.4 million, or 12.2% of revenue, compared to $16.5 million, or 10.5% of revenue, for the second quarter of 2022. As a result of the 5 additional working days in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, we estimate current quarter corporate SG&A expenses were higher by $1.8 million.

Net income for the second quarter was $8.6 million compared to net income of $21.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Basic earnings per share were $0.36 compared to $0.90 in the year-ago quarter.

Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. Acquisition by J.F. Lehman & Company

On July 19, 2023, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “merger agreement”) to be acquired by an investment affiliate of J.F. Lehman & Company (“JFLCO”), a leading private equity investment firm focused on the aerospace, defense, maritime and environmental sectors, in an all-cash transaction that values the Company at approximately $1.2 billion (the “merger”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, JFLCO will acquire all the outstanding shares of the Company for $45.50 per share in cash. The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 24.9% to the Company’s 60-day volume-weighted average price on July 19, 2023, the last full trading day prior to the public announcement of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company shareholders and the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will become a privately held company and shares of the Company common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange or trade in any other public market.
