Tecum Capital Announces Sale of Hainesport Transportation Group

Pittsburgh, PA (August 13, 2026) – Tecum Capital (“Tecum”), in collaboration with its operating partner, Dickson Suit, announce that it has exited its investment in Hainesport Transportation Group (“HTG” or the “Company”).

Headquartered in Hainesport, New Jersey, HTG owns and operates a network of rail-served transfer and disposal assets. The Company primarily serves commercial and industrial customers across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast through its rail-served network that provides customers, in capacity-constrained markets, reliable access to lower-cost disposal options.

In 2023 Tecum made an investment in HTG to provide growth capital for the Company’s strategic initiatives. Dickson Suit sponsored the investment. HTG has staked a strong position within the densely populated Northeast U.S. region, expanding its service offerings, and is well positioned for the next phase of growth.

Dickson comments, “Darryl Caplan, HTG CEO, and the HTG team have done a terrific job growing the HTG business. I have enjoyed working with the team.” Husnain Safdar, Principal at Tecum added, “HTG’s rail-served, vertically integrated operations benefitted from organic growth, and I’m impressed with the HTG team’s ability to execute and what they have accomplished in a very short period of time.”

“Dickson has been instrumental in assisting HTG’s financial and strategic initiatives, and it has been a pleasure working alongside him,” comments Darryl. “His established investment track record within the environmental services industry combined with Hus’ industry knowledge and collaborative approach formed a highly effective partnership that drove successful outcomes.”

HTG was advised by Stifel as its exclusive financial advisor.
