Waste Pro Acquires Workbox, LLC in Port Allen, LA
PORT ALLEN, LA – March 12, 2024—Waste Pro is proud to announce that its Baton Rouge and New Orleans/Kenner Louisiana Divisions are now providing service to the customers of Workbox, LLC. Workbox provides construction, industrial, and residential products for solid waste, storage, and sanitation customers throughout the state of Louisiana.
As part of the agreement, Workbox founder and CEO Martin Padial and his staff will stay with the company to ensure that services remain available to their loyal customers. For those customers currently using Workbox, no immediate changes are expected, including payment options.
Martin Sr. and his team at Workbox have worked diligently to grow their business into the beloved waste company it is today. Martin shares, “It’s groundbreaking for our two companies to come together and for us to be a part of the largest privately held solid waste company in the U.S. This is a win-win for us as a team and our customers!”
Founded as a family business, Workbox has long been a cornerstone of the local Port Allen/Baton Rouge community, providing reliable waste management services with a personal touch. Now, coming under the umbrella of Waste Pro, Workbox is poised to expand its reach and enhance its offerings on an unprecedented scale. Likewise, Waste Pro is a family-owned and operated business, started in 2001 by Founder and Board Chairman John Jennings and is led by his son, President and Chief Executive Officer Sean Jennings. Sean shares, “Workbox, Martin and his family/team members have the same dedication to excellence and passion for serving their community as our Waste Pros. Their commitment to service perfectly aligns with our values, and we are confident that together, we will achieve even greater success.”
“We are thrilled to welcome the Workbox family to our team,” said Jesse Murphy, Regional Vice President of Waste Pro Louisiana. He will work alongside Martin, his team, and the primary contact during the acquisition. Customers can expect the same high-quality service and personalized attention that they have come to rely on from Workbox, now backed by the extensive resources and expertise of Waste Pro.
