What Orion Environmental Services does

Orion Environmental Services operates as the Canadian operational arm of Ambipar Group, a Brazil-headquartered, publicly traded environmental management company founded in 2020. The company delivers a unified platform of environmental services spanning Response (emergency response, industrial services, environmental remediation), Training (HAZMAT, IMO/MCA-accredited oil spill response, Incident Command System, ARTC), and Preparedness (consultancy, exercises, secondments, equipment hire), plus ESG and circular-economy solutions. Underlying capability rests on a 500+ operational base network across 40+ countries and 6 continents, supported by a 24/7 global emergency call center and certified expert teams in radioactive waste handling, decontamination, decommissioning, flora preservation, and fauna rehabilitation. In Canada specifically, the Orion brand anchors offices in Calgary (headquarters), British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, positioning the company to serve Western Canadian oil & gas, mining, and industrial clients.\n\nThe business serves B2B industrial clients across more than thirteen verticals — primary segments are Oil & Gas, Mining, and Chemistry/Petrochemistry, with secondary exposure to Steel/Metalwork, Automotive, Ports/Hydroelectric, Agribusiness, Railways, Cement, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Construction, and Concessionaires. Revenue is generated through four distinct mechanics: professional services contracts for emergency and industrial work, subscription/recurring arrangements for ongoing environmental management, professional services for accredited training, and usage-based equipment hire. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts are structured on multi-year terms negotiated through regional offices or the global emergency hotline. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales — no resellers or digital marketplaces — with brand positioning reinforced by the Flagship Official Sustainability Partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP (2025), a circular-economy partnership with Vale (December 2024), and recognition via the ANCAT Friend of the Recycler Seal.

It is a direct peer given overlapping service lines (spill response, tank cleaning, decontamination) and a shared enterprise industrial customer base.
• Terrapure Environmental: Terrapure is a Canadian provider of industrial and hazardous waste services, including emergency response and industrial cleaning. Given Ambipar's significant Canadian operations under the Orion Environmental Services brand, Terrapure is a direct regional peer in the same geography and service categories.
