“As technology and smart data bring new changes to the water industry, this acquisition will establish Industrial Flow Solutions and Clearwater Controls as leaders in the new digital revolution,” said John Wilson, President of Industrial Flow Solutions. “This new partnership supports our combined missions to transform any industry that relies on high usage of water and the need for treatment,“ he added.

Wilson expects a dramatic increase in Clearwater Controls’ business as it develops a greater product range for the DERAGGER+ and expands its global customer base.

“This acquisition is of mutual benefit to both companies, making each uniquely more competitive. We have common values of being customer focused, highly responsive, innovative, collaborative, supportive, and ambitious,” Wilson said. “We will provide Clearwater Controls with resources and expertise to strengthen its business overall. Reciprocally, Clearwater Controls’ unique and agnostic control solutions open a huge opportunity for Industrial Flow Solutions to access a worldwide market,” Wilson added.

“Clearwater Controls is taking the lead in seizing the groundswell of interest and momentum around intelligent monitoring and management of wastewater networks,” said Simon Crompton, Managing Director, Clearwater Controls. “Our partnership with Industrial Flow Solutions provides us with a greater footprint to advance pumping technology worldwide,” said Crompton.
