Environmental Solutions Group

What Environmental Solutions Group does

Environmental Solutions Group (ESG), legally The Heil Co. and headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, manufactures solid waste collection and processing equipment for municipal and commercial waste management customers. Operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) following its July 2024 acquisition for approximately $2 billion, ESG runs a multi-brand portfolio covering the full waste-handling value chain: Heil for refuse collection vehicles, Marathon Equipment for commercial balers and compactors, Curotto-Can for automated front-load collection, Bayne Thinline for hydraulic cart lifters, Connected Collections for fleet telematics, 3rd Eye for truck camera systems, Soft-Pak for waste-industry operational software, Parts Central for OEM aftermarket parts, and Nexteligence for technician training.

ESG generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time sales of refuse collection vehicles, balers, compactors, and automated collection systems; aftermarket OEM parts distributed through Parts Central and multiple e-commerce parts portals; and recurring revenue from Connected Collections telematics and Soft-Pak operational software. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, and products reach market via direct enterprise field sales to municipalities and commercial haulers, brand-specific dealer networks, and self-service e-commerce for parts. Customer segments are organized vertically — municipalities and government agencies serving residential collection, and commercial waste management companies serving industrial and commercial waste streams — with a secondary fleet-operator use case for connected technology buyers.

The technology stack combines heavy industrial engineering (chassis, body, hydraulic, compaction) with an emerging connected-fleet layer (telematics, camera monitoring, operational software, training) intended to capture recurring revenue from an installed base of long-lifecycle refuse trucks. ESG benefits from structural tailwinds including diesel emission restrictions, declining battery costs, smart-city procurement mandates, and urban waste volume growth that position its electric and connected offerings for above-market expansion.

Direct peers

• McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing: Long-standing direct competitor in front- and rear-loader refuse collection vehicles, now part of Oshkosh Corporation. Sells into the same municipal and commercial waste-hauler customer base with overlapping product portfolios.
• Labrie Environmental Group: Manufacturer of refuse collection vehicles, recycling trucks, and waste-handling equipment competing directly with Heil and Curotto-Can across North American municipal and commercial accounts.
• New Way Trucks: Direct refuse collection vehicle competitor focused on front-, rear-, and side-loaders for municipal and private hauler customers, frequently competing head-to-head with Heil in U.S. municipal RFPs.
• Bridgeport Manufacturing: Manufacturer of residential and commercial refuse collection trucks with overlapping product lines to ESG's Heil portfolio; comparable in scale and customer type (municipal and commercial haulers).
• Pak-Mor: Refuse vehicle body manufacturer specializing in rear-load, front-load, and automated side-loader trucks; competes directly with Heil and Curotto-Can for commercial and municipal fleet contracts.
• Curbtender (Curbtender Sweepers): Emerging refuse collection vehicle manufacturer competing in side-loader and front-loader segments; a smaller but direct competitor to ESG's Heil and Curotto-Can brands.

Broad incumbents

• Mack Trucks (Volvo Group): Major refuse chassis OEM (LR/MR series) serving the same municipal and commercial fleet customers as ESG; broader commercial truck portfolio but significant overlap in refuse applications.
• Oshkosh Corporation: Parent of McNeilus and a broad specialty-vehicle manufacturer; competes indirectly through refuse vehicles and represents a large, diversified incumbent with overlapping end markets.

Others

• Republic Services: One of the largest U.S. commercial waste haulers and a key ESG customer; included as an ecosystem reference for buyer-side power and adoption of fleet electrification, rather than as a direct product competitor.
• Waste Management, Inc. Largest U.S. waste hauler and a major ESG buyer of refuse collection vehicles; relevant as the dominant customer shaping equipment specifications, electrification roadmaps, and aftermarket demand.
