D&H United Acquires Valley Tank Testing - Creates Environmental Compliance Services Division
HOUSTON, November 11, 2021- D&H United Fueling Solutions (D&H United), the leading supplier of fuel system equipment, installation and services in the Southwest, announced today that it has acquired Valley Tank Testing. The acquisition broadens D&H United’s compliance services offerings while providing Valley Tank Testing with additional repair and project services capabilities.
Valley Tank Testing was founded in 2004 in Houston, TX by PJ Kane and Brian Berkle, both of which have many years of experience in environmental compliance, maintenance and repairs. The company has grown to provide a complete suite of Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Above Ground Tank (AST) system testing and inspection services from Florida to Arizona, doing business in over 30 states across the country.
Valley Tank Testing will operate as a separate standalone division of D&H United allowing both companies to broaden their services offerings to their customers.
Bo Sasnett, CEO of D&H United Fueling Solutions, stated, “We are excited to welcome Brian Berkle, PJ Kane and the entire Valley Tank Testing team to the D&H United family. This is a transformative acquisition that allows us to offer turnkey services that ensure maximum uptime and regulatory compliance for fuel site customers. The Valley Tank Testing team is customer centric and has done a great job of growing the company and the services that they provide. We look forward to providing the resources that will support their continued growth and customer care.”
Valley Tank Testing Co-founder, PJ Kane, added, “This is an exciting time for Valley Tank Testing, the beginning of a truly synergistic partnership with D&H United. We will be continuing our growth with even more support and resources for our customers.” Brian Berkle, Valley Tank Testing Co-founder added, “We are excited to join forces with the D&H United team. This is the next step in our evolution to meet our customers’ growth needs.”
In February 2020, KLH Capital partnered with D&H United’s management team to recapitalize and continue the growth path of the company. “D&H United’s services are an essential infrastructure business located throughout the growing sunbelt of the Southwest. The acquisition of Valley Tank Testing broadens the company’s compliance services business and delivers on the company’s vision of providing turnkey services for its customers.”, said James Darnell, Partner at KLH Capital.
