LOS ANGELES, CA –
ALL4, established in 2002, has carved a niche as a premier provider of regulatory-driven EH&S consulting. The company’s comprehensive service suite encompasses critical areas such as air quality management, general EH&S compliance, innovative digital solutions, and sustainability consulting. These services are designed to address the mission-critical needs of a diverse clientele. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ALL4 boasts a robust operational network spanning 12 offices globally. Its footprint includes a strong national presence across the United States and an expanding international reach in Europe and Latin America.
Andrew Schwartz, Partner at Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership. “We are thrilled to welcome ALL4, an undisputed market leader in the EH&S consulting sector, into our portfolio,” Schwartz stated. He highlighted ALL4’s “outstanding reputation built on renowned technical expertise, a strong corporate culture, and a client-centric service mindset.” These attributes, according to Schwartz, have fostered a loyal client base and consistently fueled robust growth. LLCP is eager to collaborate with the existing management team to capitalize on ALL4’s impressive growth trajectory and support the company’s continued evolution.
ALL4’s leadership will remain consistent under LLCP’s ownership. Co-founders Bill Straub and Kevin Hickey, along with the current executive team, will continue to lead the company. Importantly, they will also maintain significant equity ownership in ALL4, partnering with Levine Leichtman Capital Partners in this new chapter.
Bill Straub conveyed his positive outlook on the partnership, stating, “We are excited for ALL4 to join forces with Levine Leichtman Capital Partners. LLCP’s understanding of our business, appreciation for our purpose and culture, commitment to employee ownership, management-focused approach, and shared vision for growth were key factors in our decision.” Straub emphasized LLCP’s “valuable capabilities and experience in supporting highly-respected, market-leading businesses.” He anticipates that LLCP’s partnership will enable ALL4 to further scale its operations through both organic growth strategies and strategic mergers and acquisitions. The focus will remain on delivering superior technical service and support to clients, while also expanding equity ownership opportunities for ALL4’s employees.
