Aquatech today announced the completion of its acquisition of Metito Chemical Solutions ("METICHEM"). The company, now known as Metichem, an Aquatech company, brings together advanced water treatment technologies, specialty chemicals, operations & maintenance expertise, and operational excellence to help customers operate with confidence and achieve their environmental and operational goals.
By bringing together Aquatech’s global project experience with Metichem’s deep local roots, the two companies will be able to deliver more complete water lifecycle solutions across the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia. Both Aquatech and Metichem draw on a decades-long legacy of success across these regions and have particularly noteworthy projects executed in the UAE, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
Together, the organizations offer customers a broader portfolio spanning treatment technologies, specialty chemicals, operations & maintenance services, and digital solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and sustainability throughout the water lifecycle.
On July 30th, just ahead of the acquisition closing, over 300 employees across three continents came together to celebrate Metichem joining Aquatech, and to mark the next chapter of growth for the combined organization. The close also comes during Aquatech's 45th anniversary year, bringing added significance to the moment.
"Today marks the close of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one. We are here because of the dedication of our people, and I am grateful to the Aquatech team for welcoming us as partners throughout this journey. Together, we are building a strong foundation for the future, and I look forward to embracing that future as one team," said Mike Abla, Managing Director at Metichem.
“Metichem has built a strong business through commitment to customers and operational excellence. We have tremendous respect for what they have achieved, and we are excited to begin this next chapter together," said Andrew Parke, EVP Services at Aquatech.
This partnership brings together two organizations with shared values, complementary strengths, and a common commitment to serving our customers. We look forward to learning from one another, growing together, and delivering even greater value to our clients around the world," said Devesh Sharam, CEO at Aquatech.
Existing contracts, service agreements, service teams, and points of contact remain unchanged, and Aquatech and Metichem customers are encouraged to continue working through their existing Aquatech or Metichem representatives.
Aquatech has announced that it will acquire Metito Chemical Solutions ("METICHEM"), a UAE-based leader in advanced water-treatment chemicals and operations & maintenance (O&M) services across industrial, municipal, and institutional markets in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia.
