About SWS Equipment, Inc.  

SWS is a leading Northwest environmental waste equipment distributor operating in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Founded in 1990 by President Paul Cochran, SWS provides waste, recycling, sewer, sweeper equipment, service, parts, and rentals to customers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. The strategic investment from Montlake and Cascadia provides growth capital that will enable SWS to service the growing needs of its portfolio of OEM partners while expanding its state, municipal, retail, utility, and contractor customer base.

“SWS has grown tremendously from our humble beginnings. We came to a point where we recognized that a larger capital base and experienced operating partners could be a great asset,” said Mr. Cochran. “Mike Vanderslice, Joe Ravner, and the team at ACT Capital Advisors advised and assisted us throughout the process. We achieved all our goals with the Cascadia and Montlake partnership. None of this would have happened without the market knowledge, deep experience, and insight contributed by Mike and his team.”
