Whitewater Management Boosts Its Position in Water Treatment by Acquiring Orion Water Solutions

Whitewater Management Expands Services with Orion Water Solutions

In a strategic move to strengthen its foothold in the fluid management sector, Whitewater Management has officially announced its acquisition of Orion Water Solutions. Founded in 2010, Whitewater Management has established itself as a leader in the management of fluids and is poised for further growth with this recent development.

The acquisition, revealed on March 3, 2025, aligns with Whitewater's commitment to providing top-notch fluid management solutions. Rod Stearn, the President and CEO of Whitewater Management, emphasized that integrating Orion's cutting-edge technologies will unlock new avenues across various industries, including oil and gas, mining, and municipal infrastructure.

Orion Water Solutions, which commenced operations in 2016, excels in advanced treatment systems that convert wastewater into purer, reusable water. With both mobile and fixed facility treatment units, Orion employs best-in-class technologies to cater to a wide variety of markets. Its strategic location in the Permian Basin enables it to solidify its presence within the energy sector and both industrial and municipal markets along the Gulf Coast.

Gary Griesenbeck, the CEO of Orion, highlighted the synergy between the two companies, suggesting that the combination of their advanced treatment approaches and Whitewater's services will significantly broaden their market impact. This collaboration is expected to enhance their ability to deliver innovative and scalable solutions that will resonate across many industries.

The acquisition also enhances Whitewater's potential for cross-border expansion in North America. With greater access to innovative water treatment technologies and an enriched service offering, Whitewater is well-equipped for sustained growth and success in critical markets.

Whitewater Management and Catalyst Production Services, which Whitewater incorporates under its umbrella, are owned by Hillcore Group, a prominent independent investment firm based in Canada. The financial advisory for this acquisition was provided by Sparkstone Capital Advisors, LLC, underlining the transactional significance and strategic value.

As markets faced growing challenges related to water sustainability and environmental compliance, this acquisition arrives at a pivotal moment. The ability to advance water treatment technologies will facilitate better resource management and environmental stewardship, crucial for various sectors striving to maintain compliance with increasingly stringent regulations.

This acquisition not only enhances Whitewater's capabilities but also marks an important milestone in the landscape of fluid management, promising to set new standards in water treatment practices. With innovations on the horizon and a strengthened portfolio of services, Whitewater Management is determined to continue its trajectory of growth and leadership within the industry.
