Parsons Corporation has announced the acquisition of TRS Group, Inc. (TRS), a specialized environmental solutions firm, in an all-cash transaction valued at $36 million. This acquisition enhances Parsons’ Federal Solutions and Critical Infrastructure segments by expanding its expertise in environmental remediation.

TRS Group: A Leader in Environmental Remediation

Founded in 2000, TRS has built a strong reputation for its expertise in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remediation, thermal treatment, and comprehensive environmental clean-up solutions. 

The company has successfully completed over 160 in situ thermal remediation projects, treating contaminants such as volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, PFAS, energetics, and pesticides in soil, groundwater, and bedrock.

TRS’s thermal remediation technology is designed to accelerate the breakdown and removal of hazardous substances, including chlorinated hydrocarbons and other organic pollutants, offering a sustainable and effective approach to environmental restoration.

What is PFAS?

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are synthetic chemicals known for their water-, grease-, and stain-resistant properties. Used in non-stick cookware, firefighting foams, and food packaging since the 1940s, they have earned the nickname “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment and human body.

Studies link PFAS exposure to liver damage, thyroid disease, weakened immunity, and certain cancers. As concerns grow, governments worldwide are tightening regulations and seeking safer alternatives. The global PFAS treatment industry is projected to reach billions in the coming years, as companies race to develop technologies for removing these toxic compounds from water, soil, and consumer products.

Strengthening Parsons’ Capabilities in PFAS Remediation

Parsons’ President and CEO, Carey Smith, emphasized the strategic benefits of this acquisition, stating:

“The acquisition of TRS Group significantly enhances Parsons’ environmental remediation capabilities in both of our operating segments and serves as a force multiplier for our already industry-leading PFAS remediation solutions. We are thrilled to welcome the talented TRS employees into the Parsons family and are eager to harness the synergies between our cultures of innovation, discovery, and commitment to improving societal health.”

TRS brings extensive experience in delivering specialized labor and technical solutions for complex engineering challenges. Notably, the company holds the exclusive North American license for PerfluorAd™ technology, an advanced cleaning and separation agent designed to remove PFAS compounds from firefighting vehicles, fire suppression systems, wastewater streams, and other environments.

This technology is particularly valuable for industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and manufacturing, as well as federal, state, and municipal governments.

A Strategic Acquistion aiming Sustainable Environmental Solutions

This acquisition aligns with Parsons’ broader strategy of expanding its environmental solutions portfolio while reinforcing its leadership in PFAS remediation. With TRS’s specialized expertise and proprietary technology, Parsons is well-positioned to address the increasing demand for effective environmental remediation across multiple industries.

The growing regulatory landscape and addressable market

As regulations surrounding hazardous substances like PFAS continue to evolve, TRS has been instrumental in assisting clients with compliance and remediation strategies. Currently, 34 states have introduced restrictions on PFAS, reinforcing the need for advanced remediation solutions.

The demand for PFAS treatment is driven by various industries and regulatory agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and state governments. PFAS contamination from sources such as firefighting foam, manufacturing sites, landfills, and industrial emissions poses significant environmental and public health challenges.

Brett Trowbridge, President & CEO of TRS, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration:

“As we join forces, our collective goal is to lead the industry in creating impactful, sustainable projects that benefit communities and preserve natural resources. Together, we will leverage our combined expertise to create solutions that not only meet the demands of our clients but also create a better and safer future.”
