CONTECH Construction Products Inc. has announced its acquisition of the European SurfSep license, which includes the intellectual property assets and selling rights for the storm water runoff market.
SurfSep's storm water technology, more commonly known as continuous deflection separation (CDS), has been owned in the U.S. by CONTECH since 2006 but was previously offered by Copa Ltd. in Europe.
"We added the CDS technology to our offering in the United States to provide our customers with the most comprehensive selection of storm water products available," said Rick Stepien, president of CONTECH Stormwater Solutions Inc. "As we looked into expanding our business globally, we were committed to bringing that same best-in-class offering to our customers wherever their geographic location might be. Coupled with our Vortechs, StormFilter and CON/SPAN product lines, the new European rights to CDS allow us to do that."
CDS storm water products will be sold throughout Europe by CONTECH and its sales representatives. "The European Union's Water Framework Directive will create demand for storm water treatment technologies throughout Europe," Stepien said. "CONTECH is now ready to respond with a proven technology already established in the United Kingdom, Ireland and France."
