Pentair, a water treatment company, completed the acquisition of Aquion, which offers a diverse line of water conditioners, water filters, drinking-water purifiers, ozone and ultraviolet disinfection systems, reverse osmosis systems and acid neutralizers for the residential and commercial water treatment industry, for $160m. The addition of Aquion and its affiliated dealer network, offering complete systems and solutions, will highly complement Pentair’s value chain in residential water offerings. This benefits consumers by increasing access as well as providing more choices to meet their water treatment needs. “This will allow Aquion to build on its strengths within an organization that is also committed to creating solutions that make water softer and more economical to use and consume across both the residential and commercial industries,” Michael Madsen, Aquion President and Chief Executive Officer.
