Water treatment and filtration specialist Envirogen Water Technologies has acquired the assets of Derwent Water Systems and Derwent Water Services.
The acquisition substantially enhances Envirogen’s presence in the UK industrial water treatment and filtration market, it said.
Alfreton-based Derwent Water manufacturers and supplies water treatment plant ranging from basic water softeners and reverse osmosis equipment to customer specified complex water treatment solutions.
The Envirogen Group already has Puresep Technologies and Environmental Water Systems (UK) as part of the European Group, alongside Envirogen Technologies Inc in The States. Bringing together these leading water treatment and process filtration organisations means the Envirogen technology and service business model can be broadened and strengthened to target a wider market and to continue to bring to the market place, Envirogen said.
Like the other divisions, the Derwent Water brand will continue to have a presence under the parent company and legal entity Envirogen Water Technologies.
The Derwent division will be headed up by the Envirogen Management team. CEO of European Operations, Vince Payne said:
“Derwent is a natural fit for Envirogen, both companies believe in developing long-term relationships with customers, focussing on delivering value through innovative technologies, solutions and service. This addition to the group substantially enhances our product offering into the industrial market, providing customers with best value, best choice and best quality in the industry”
He added: “This acquisition combines 21st Century technologies, an experienced team, a solid and broad customer mix, secure income and a robust platform for growth. We look forward to strengthening and consolidating Envirogen’s position in what is one of the most fragmented water markets in the world at a time when demand in the UK is surging as companies have to adhere to ever more strict environmental, economic and regulatory targets.”
Chris Watkins, Owner of Derwent said:
“This is a great next step for the Derwent Water brand and its customers, giving them access to a wider range of technology and solutions and to one of the largest and experienced in-house service teams in the UK. There is no question that the experience of the Envirogen Management team will ensure that Derwent is well placed to meet the current economic challenges to support our customers.”
