DESOTEC, the leading provider in sustainable mobile filtration solutions in Europe, has completed the acquisition of the carbon reactivation and exchange services business Evoqua Water Technologies.
Evoqua Water Technologies is a renowned leader in mission-critical water and wastewater treatment solutions with a wealth of expertise and a strong product portfolio in the US. The acquisition includes Evoqua’s product lines’ workforce, reactivation facilities and associated equipment, and the reactivation and carbon vessel manufacturing facility. Upon closing, DESOTEC can now provide the necessary solutions to the growing filtration demands in North America by leveraging its extensive expertise in Europe, built up over many decades.
Through a unique, flexible, and circular service concept, DESOTEC unburdens its industrial clients. With its broad range of mobile filtration solutions, the environmental services company supports its clients in their efforts to enhance the sustainability of their operations or products. In addition, it helps companies comply with environmental regulations and sustainability requirements.
“This strategic acquisition marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for DESOTEC as we continue our mission to better protect the planet. This landmark investment is the first step as we embark on the roll-out of our North American growth strategy and further expansion of our leading market position,” says Julie Santens, CEO of DESOTEC.
Jürgen Pinker, Senior Managing Director at Blackstone, added: “Leveraging Blackstone’s long track-record of successful corporate partnerships and experience in backing strong management teams, we are excited to continue DESOTEC’s success story, working together with Julie and the wider team to build a global partner of choice for its clients, suppliers and employees. As the need for environmental services is increasingly front and center, we believe DESOTEC is well positioned to continue to take advantage of the market opportunity and remain confident the company will continue to thrive for the long-term future.”
