LSC Environmental Products acquires Mat Inc., Mat Nuwood

LSC Environmental Products LLC, Apalachin, New York, has acquired Mat Inc., Floodwood, Minnesota, and Mat NuWood LLC. Lenoir, North Carolina. The acquisitions will augment LCS' ability to address issues with soil stabilization, revegetation, remediation and reclamation.   

According to the LSC, the combined organizations will continue to do business as LSC Environmental Products LLC and will welcome 100 percent of Mat’s sales, finance, operations and technical support teams. Joe Donze, CEO of LSC, will continue to oversee the expanded organization. Patti Karpik, president of Mat, will join LSC’s executive leadership team.   

“The combination of Mat and LSC just makes sense as our family-oriented cultures share nearly identical values of Integrity, Reliability, Performance, and Innovation,” Karpik says.  

LSC says Mat Inc. developed the erosion control industry’s first spray-applied bonded fiber matrix product. Mat’s entire product portfolio, including its product lines of Spray Guard, Soil Guard and Flex Guard, will complement LSC’s environmental solutions, used in the solid waste, erosion control, remediation, revegetation and emergency response industries.   

“The acquisitions will immediately strengthen our supply chain, customer relationships, distribution channels, and product offerings,” Donze says. “We also see tremendous innovation potential and will be pursuing ongoing investment at both facilities.”   

The two Mat locations will join LSC’s Lostant, Illinois, facility, which produces several pelletized erosion control and revegetation products. The combined facilities, in addition to their expansive network of supply partners, will result in improved supply logistics for LSC’s growing customer base.
