Summary
Tecum Capital announced on August 13, 2026, that it has successfully exited its investment in Hainesport Transportation Group (HTG), a New Jersey-based waste management infrastructure operator. The exit was executed in collaboration with operating partner Dickson Suit and marks a significant portfolio event for the Pittsburgh-based private equity firm.
HTG, headquartered in Hainesport, New Jersey, owns and operates a network of rail-served transfer and disposal assets that primarily serve commercial and industrial clients. The company's infrastructure-focused business model—leveraging rail connectivity for waste transfer and disposal operations—positions it within the essential environmental services sector that has attracted sustained institutional capital investment.
This exit is consistent with Tecum Capital's strategic investment thesis focused on lower middle market companies across the United States. The firm has demonstrated particular strength in the waste and recycling services sector, with a portfolio that includes 5280 Waste Solutions (a Denver-based provider of roll-off, residential, and commercial waste management services acquired in April 2025) and BP Business Solutions (a Bucks County, Pennsylvania-based waste and recycling provider). The HTG exit reflects disciplined capital deployment and return realization within this thematic investment area.
Tecum Capital, ranked as Pittsburgh's fourth-largest private equity firm by capital under management at approximately $750 million, manages a diversified portfolio across waste services, propane distribution, transportation infrastructure, and industrial supply sectors. The firm's active management approach—evidenced by both new platform investments and strategic exits—reflects its positioning as a multi-strategy investment vehicle focused on operational value creation in lower middle market segments.
