What MKB Company does
MKB Company is a US-based manufacturer and distributor of erosion and sediment control (E&SC) and stormwater management products, operating as a private company backed by Align Capital Partners since December 2024. The company designs, produces, and sells a comprehensive portfolio of Best Management Practice (BMP) products organized into four categories: sediment control (SiltSoxx compost filter socks, BlackHawk inlet filter mats, Siltron belted silt fence, StormCatcher filter tubes, FryeFlow inlet protection and dewatering products, Straw Wattle, RockSock, RoadWattle, DiversionSoxx, SwitchSoxx); erosion control (ErosionTech blankets, Coir and Excelsior Logs, StrawMax, geotextiles, GreenStake, staples and pins); stormwater and pollutant filtration (EnviroSoxx targeting 20+ common pollutants with up to 99% bacteria and hydrocarbon removal, StormExx catch basin filters); and green infrastructure (GreenLoxx vegetated systems, GroSoxx). The underlying technology is centered on patented compost filter sock and pollutant filtration media, USDA-certified and recognized under EPA, AASHTO, USDA NRCS, and USACE standards, with ten+ US patents protecting core product designs.
MKB serves contractors, engineers, developers, municipal governments, oil and gas operators, transportation departments, utilities, industrial facilities, agricultural operations, and fire remediation crews across North America. Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales via a field sales team, phone-based quoting (888-578-0777), and a network of distributors and resellers, supported by specification-influencing programs including Lunch & Learn continuing education sessions (earning PDH credits) and a multi-brand portfolio now spanning Filtrexx, SiltSoxx, BlackHawk, Siltron, ErosionTech, GreenLoxx, EnviroSoxx, and Western Green-acquired brands (Western Excelsior, North American Green, East Coast Erosion, Talon Fabrics, Falcon Anchors). Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, consistent with project-driven B2B industrial sales. The company is in an active acquisition phase, having completed four transactions since partnering with ACP to build what it describes as the leading national platform in stormwater and erosion control.
