newterra buys Crane Water

Canada-based modular water treatment systems manufacturer newterra has acquired Crane’s water division Crane Water.

The company adds the newly acquired US-based water treatment equipment maker to its sales / engineering and manufacturing facilities in Canada, the US and Europe.

newterra noted that the acquisition enhances its expertise in water technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO), ion exchange, deionisation, and deaeration. The acquired business also creates additional market opportunities for the firm’s modular treatment offerings for potable and process water, sewage, wastewater and groundwater.

newterra president Robert Kennedy said that one of the keys to firm’s ongoing success is having full control of processes.

"This acquisition builds on that approach, adding tremendous engineering horsepower to our team, and bringing RO production in-house," Kennedy added.

With operations in Canada, the US, Germany and Chile, newterra provides decentralised water and wastewater treatment solutions to the resource, private development and municipal markets.

Crane Water has sales and engineering offices in Trooper, Pennsylvania and Venice, Florida, where it also manufactures RO filtration systems. These locations will continue operations under newterra.
