Spheros Environmental
Innovative Environmental Solutions for a Sustainable Future Spheros Environmental is a family of companies focused on science-first environmental engineering and services. Spheros Environmental was founded in 2021 when air quality services company, Sonoma Technology, joined the platform. In 2023, LRE Water and HydroGeoLogica were added to the platform and the corporation began to develop integrated services in the environmental and sustainability space. Spheros is supported by private equity group, Union Park Capital, a Boston-based private equity firm focused on lower middle-market industrial technology investments. Spheros’ vision is to continue building a unified platform to support public-and private-sector clients across the life cycle of their needs, including regulatory consulting, advisory, response, measurement, and analysis. Read more about Union Park Capital and their investments here. Environmental services are highly fragmented, with many niche providers focusing on only one region or service offering. Spheros will serve as a unified platform to support public and private sector clients across the life cycle of their needs, including regulatory consulting, advisory, response, measurement, and analysis. The environmental services industry is driven by many long-term secular drivers including increased environmental awareness, enhanced regulations, and greater consumer demand. As increased consumer demand fuels more industrial activity, the resulting environmental challenges continue to grow in number, scope, and complexity. Further, damage and disruptions caused by climate change and other disasters to vulnerable infrastructure create a greater need for expert services and industrial operations often require continuous monitoring and testing to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
