Hydroflux Group acquires EPCO Australia

Water treatment group Hydroflux has completed its acquisition of EPCO Australia, accelerating the business’s efforts to be an active participant in the mining and resource sector.

EPCO Australia is a supplier of water assets with experience in designing, manufacturing and installing equipment in all categories of the managed water cycle. For the past 34 years, the company has partnered with water specialist Simmonds & Bristow on projects to bring clean water to remote Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Torres Strait Islands.

“EPCO Australia has been a leading supplier of clarifiers, anaerobic digester equipment and package sewage treatment plants throughout Australia, PNG and the Torres Strait Islands for over 50 years and is a unique business with outstanding technology that has been well proven,” said Hydroflux CEO Adrian Minshull. “We look forward to investing in and maximising the technology, and incorporating it into our product and solution offering, both in Australia and around the world.”

Minshull said Hydroflux is looking forward to continuing the strategic partnership between EPCO Australia and Simmonds & Bristow. Additionally, he said he is “excited about the opportunity to play a bigger role in supporting sewage treatment plant contractors and more actively participating in the mining and resource sector — a very strategic market for the Hydroflux Group”.
