Canadian water solutions provider H2O Innovation has acquired Spanish manufacturer of water filtration systems, Lama Sistemas de Filtrados Unipersonal.
Founded in 1948, Lama is known for its advanced backwashable filters used for suspended solids removal, with products ranging from manual to fully automated systems. The company serves municipal, industrial and agricultural markets.
The deal will see Lama integrated into H2O Innovation’s Specialty Products business line, expanding its pretreatment solutions for ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis systems. Lama’s portfolio will complement H2O Innovation’s Piedmont brand, which focuses on reverse osmosis pretreatment.
Frédéric Dugré, president and chief executive officer of H2O Innovation, said: “Lama’s strong expertise in backwashable filtration systems makes it a perfect addition to our components and consumables business. This acquisition reinforces our leadership position in the global desalination supply chain and expands the solutions we deliver to customers worldwide.”
All 40 of Lama’s employees will remain with the business under the H2O Innovation umbrella.
Jorge Lama, president of Lama, added: “We are excited to join H2O Innovation and bring our filtration expertise to a broader international market. Together, we will create even greater value for our customers and partners.”
