Usalco, a leading provider of water treatment solutions for municipal and commercial customers, announced that it has acquired the coagulant manufacturing business of Brenntag Southwest.

Brenntag’s coagulants business is based in Houston, TX, and serves a diverse group of municipal and commercial water treatment customers in Texas, a key growth region for USALCO. Post-close, USALCO will relocate production to its existing manufacturing sites in the area and is committed to providing outstanding customer service, delivery, and quality to Brenntag’s transitioning customer base.

“Brenntag’s coagulant business is a great addition to USALCO,” said Ken Gayer, CEO of USALCO. “This acquisition broadens our customer base in the Texas region, which is a major area of growth for us. It also marks the fifth acquisition that USALCO has completed over the last three years.”

Tom Crain, President of Brenntag Southwest, Inc., noted, “This is a mutually beneficial transaction. Brenntag is a premier distributor of water treatment chemicals, while manufacturing is not a core area of our strategy.

Usalco is an important manufacturing partner for Brenntag across the U.S., and we can count on them to continue delivering quality products to us and our customers.”
