Marriott & Co. Serves as Exclusive Financial Advisor to Jet Blast
Richmond, Va. — Marriott & Co., a premier middle market investment banking firm based in Richmond, VA, is pleased to announce that it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Jet Blast, Inc. (“Jet Blast” or the “Company”) in its sale to an undisclosed buyer. The transaction closed on September 1, 2025. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
This represents Marriott & Co.’s second successful transaction in the specialized industrial cleaning services industry in the past two years, following its sale of Arrowhead Environmental Services last year.
Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Baltimore, MD, Jet Blast is a leading provider of specialized industrial services including tank cleaning, vacuum truck services, hydro blasting, and other related services. The Company provides these mission-critical services to a number of industrial and government customers operating industrial and municipal infrastructure facilities in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. such as chemical plants, water treatment plants, marine facilities and others.
“This is a great outcome for our company, our employees and our customers,” said Ed Jefferson Sr., President of Jet Blast, “I would like to thank Marriott & Co. for their hands-on professional guidance throughout the sale process that led to such a terrific result.”
“It was such an honor to help Jet Blast in this transaction,” said Bryan Burden, Managing Director of Marriott & Co., “Over the past 46 years, Jet Blast has built a reputation of delivering best-in-class industrial cleaning services to some of the top commercial and government entities in the greater DC/Maryland/Virginia market, and we are pleased to see the company’s ownership transition to a buyer that will continue to build upon that impressive legacy.”
Added Justin Marriott, Managing Director of Marriott & Co., “We continue to see a strong level of M&A activity in attractive sectors such as specialized industrial cleaning services. This is an industry in which the recurring nature of the work supported by aging facilities and infrastructure, combined with a high degree of market fragmentation, make it an attractive industry for continued M&A activity for years to come.”
