Alterna Equity Partners
The Firm
Alterna bought the Bulk Express family of companies out of Miami in late 2022, a group hauling municipal waste, recyclables, aggregates and contaminated soils. Its own investment-news page names the transaction as a completed acquisition rather than an investment, which is the distinction this registry turns on.
The platform then bought again rather than sitting still: Attaway Hauling and Choice Bulk Carriers of Gordon, Georgia joined in May 2023, taking the combined fleet to roughly two hundred trucks. That is the add-on pattern a searcher competes with and eventually sells into.
The lanes matter for reading the trade. Waste and aggregate hauling is contracted, local and priced against a construction cycle, so a buyer at searcher scale is looking at the same customers this platform is consolidating.
What It Buys
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A South Florida lower-middle-market private equity firm whose transportation platform hauls waste, aggregates and construction debris long-haul, built by buying family-owned carriers and adding to them.
Selling to them one day, or watching them as the other bidder? Track them in the Contact Book so the relationship has a next-touch date.
Confirmed Deals
2 deals traced to announcements by Alterna Equity Partners, 2022 to 2023, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
Nothing newer has cleared the bar in 38 months, against a registry whose newest confirmed deal is July 28, 2026. A gap past 12 months can mean the firm has slowed, or that it has stopped announcing; treat it as a prompt to check its own newsroom before assuming either.
