Water Solutions Acquires Braco Castings

US-based Water Solutions has bought Braco Castings, a supplier of high pressure water pipe fittings used in purification and desalination equipment.

The acquisition was completed with an exchange of shares and cash, the value of which was not disclosed.

The principals of Braco will stay with the company for a minimum of one year to ensure continuity in management.

Water Solutions president and CEO Glenn Reynolds said Braco Castings’ strength in manufacturing high volumes of precision-crafted pipe fittings will be a good addition to the firm.

“It was strategically advantageous to ensure Braco’s full capacity was dedicated to our desalinators line, for which orders are outstripping fabrication capacity,” said Reynolds.
