In the new organization, the four segments will have combined responsibility for service development and product management. “As a result of this integration, we will enable joint development of our service portfolio with all its products, systems and solutions,” said Haslestad. “We will structure the complex business taken over from USFilter more clearly and make it more effective by centralizing processes and standardizing the portfolio,” added Haslestad. “We intend to continue growing more quickly than the market, which is currently expanding at a rate of 6% per year worldwide – and we want to achieve this goal especially in individual regions such as China and India where the growth potential is double the global average. Now that we have a central platform in Singapore for our business in Asia and in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the Middle East, we will pursue this strategy in Europe as well.” For further information, visit www.industry.siemens.com
H2O Innovation acquires Wastewater Technology Inc
T
he US subsidiary of Canada’s H2O Innovation (2000) Inc has acquired Monterey, Virginia-based Wastewater Technology Inc (WTI) from its founder, Donald Ricketts, for US$2.6 million. Founded in 1990, WTI designs, manufactures and assembles wastewater treatment systems and units using patented bioreactors, activated sludge (Bio-Wheel), and MBR (Bio-Brane) technologies. As a result, WTI gives H2O access to new business opportunities in North America for wastewater purification. WTI’s patented processes will be added to H2O’s solutions, creating a business division specializing in wastewater treatment to be headed by Ricketts. The WTI acquisition also adds a project list of 70 wastewater treatment systems installed throughout the US, Eastern Europe and China, and a network of 15 manufacturing agents and representatives across the US. Based on unaudited results for 2006 and 2007, WTI recorded average annual sales of US$2.64 million.
“In addition to serving the commercial and municipal markets, we can further leverage rapidly growing markets in the mining, oil, and gas sector that require technologies for their worker camps that are easy to install and move in remote areas, and exceed environmental requirements,” explained Frédéric Dugré, H2O president and chief operating officer. The purchase price will be increased by up to US$2 million if cumulative sales of the Bio-Brane technology over 10 years reach US$32.7 million and sales of the Bio-Wheel or related technologies reach US$8 million.
