The acquisition strengthens Denali’s large and growing organic collection operations in the Southeast by adding organics processing capacity through the two Wallace compost sites. Additionally, the move will support expanded production and distribution of Denali’s sustainable soil products, including the ReCirculate^® bagged compost and soil product line.

Wallace Farm began commercial composting on the family’s farm 30 years ago. The company has two facilities, a 75-acre operation in Huntersville, near Charlotte, and a 162-acre facility in Advance, near Greensboro/Winston Salem.

“We’re pleased to welcome Wallace Farm and its team to the Denali family,” said Todd Mathes, CEO of Denali. “We look forward to continuing their operational excellence and building on their strong regional presence to further our commitment to building a resilient circular economy by transforming organic waste into renewable products.”

With the addition of Wallace Farm's facilities, Denali now operates a network of 26 composting sites across the U.S., leveraging innovative technology to maximize organic waste landfill diversion. The acquisition also reflects Denali’s broader strategy of building a robust, integrated system as the market leader in organics recycling.

“I’m proud of my family’s legacy in the communities we serve and joining Denali, which shares our family values, goals, and high standards of quality and customer service,” said Eric Wallace, President of Wallace Farm, Inc. “This is an exciting next chapter for Wallace Farm because we’ve always believed in the power of growing a greener environment, and with Denali’s scale and vision, we can take that positive impact even further.”
