ACME Environmental

What ACME Environmental does

ACME Environmental is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based environmental products manufacturer and services provider founded in 1967, organized into four internal divisions covering oil spill containment products, certified spill response, environmental remediation, and field services. The company manufactures oil spill containment boom (inland, nearshore, offshore, permanent Perma-Boom, and specialty variants including cranberry boom) using proprietary Jaton coated fabric and custom engineering for heavy-sinking contaminants, complemented by skimmers, sorbents, turbidity curtains, secondary containment berms, spill kits, and accessories. Its services portfolio includes 24/7/365 emergency spill response under USCG OSRO #0010 classification (the 10th certified OSRO in the U.S.), ex-situ chemical oxidation remediation using mobile peroxide-based treatment units, GAC filtration via twin 1,000-gallon vessels, decontamination, and Boom School training programs.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: hardware sales via direct e-commerce on acmeboom.com (buy-online and request-for-quote channels, no minimum orders) plus enterprise field sales under Master Service Agreements with over 100 active contracts covering oil and gas majors, midstream pipeline operators, refineries, chemical plants, utilities, municipalities, and government entities. All employees are OSHA-certified and 40-hour HazWoper trained, supported by 19-year ISNetworld and 11-year PEC Safety compliance partnerships. Technology investments include a digital response dashboard with 3D site-mapping for real-time situational awareness and simulation of spill scenarios. The company has participated in major historical spills including Exxon Valdez, BP Deepwater Horizon, Amoco Cadiz, and Bay of Campeche, and holds Platinum sponsorship with the Spill Control Association of America.

Direct peers

• Spilltech: Direct manufacturer and distributor of oil spill containment products including sorbents, booms, and spill kits. Competes with ACME's ACME Products division for the same industrial and municipal buyers through both direct sales and distribution channels.
• Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL): Industry-funded global oil spill response cooperative providing emergency response, equipment, and training. OSRL competes for major international spill response engagements and represents a higher-end global peer to ACME's domestic OSRO capabilities.
• Elastec/American Marine: Manufacturer of oil spill containment boom, skimmers, and related response equipment, with direct product overlap to ACME's containment boom, sorbents, and skimmers. Elastec serves similar municipal, industrial, and oil and gas customers with comparable hardware offerings.
• New Pig: Manufacturer and retailer of spill containment and industrial absorbents including spill kits, sorbents, and secondary containment products. Competes with ACME's sorbents, spill kits, and secondary containment product lines through direct e-commerce and distribution.
• NRC Group (National Response Corporation): One of the largest US oil spill response organizations, offering emergency response, industrial services, and environmental remediation across similar end markets including oil and gas, marine, rail, and government. NRC competes head-to-head with ACME for OSRO-classified spill response contracts and MSAs.

Emerging players

• Wild Well Control (a Superior Energy Services company): Provider of well control, blowout response, and oil spill response services to the upstream oil and gas industry. While primarily focused on well intervention, Wild Well competes with ACME for emergency response contracts with major oil and gas operators.
• CETCO (part of Mineral Technologies): Manufacturer of environmental and industrial products including spill containment and remediation technologies. CETCO's bentonite-based and specialty environmental products overlap with ACME's containment and remediation offerings, particularly for industrial and construction-related applications.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: Large publicly traded environmental and industrial services company offering spill response, waste management, and remediation services. While much broader in scope (including hazardous waste and industrial cleaning), Clean Harbors overlaps with ACME on emergency response and environmental remediation for oil and gas customers.
• Veolia Environmental Services: Global environmental services company offering hazardous waste management, industrial cleaning, and remediation. Veolia overlaps with ACME on environmental remediation, water treatment, and industrial services for oil and gas and chemical customers but at much greater scale.

Regional players

• SET Environmental: Mid-sized environmental services company providing emergency spill response, remediation, and waste management primarily in the central and southern US. Overlaps with ACME on industrial and oil and gas customer response and remediation services in overlapping geographic territory.
