Vortex Companies Expands Presence in the UK

Vortex Companies, known for its rapid growth as a provider of trenchless infrastructure solutions, has recently announced a significant development in its strategic expansion efforts. With the acquisition of the McAllister Group—an established leader in trenchless water and sewer rehabilitation services across the UK and Ireland—Vortex aims to bolster its footprint in this critical market.

The McAllister Group, which employs over 180 individuals across four locations, boasts a strong reputation for delivering high-quality environmental and infrastructure services. This acquisition aligns perfectly with Vortex's operations in the UK, according to Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies. He stated that leveraging Vortex's technical expertise and resources will empower McAllister to expand its service offerings and take on larger, more complex projects in the years to come.

For over 50 years, McAllister has continuously evolved to meet the growing demand for sustainable and non-intrusive infrastructure rehabilitation solutions. Senior Vice President and General Manager Dan Watson highlighted the importance of collaborative approaches that will lead to framework agreements fueled by the backing of Vortex. This partnership is expected to reduce costs and enhance the pursuit of larger-scale contracts.

Ryan Graham, Chief Operating Officer of Vortex Companies, emphasized that McAllister has consistently adapted to emerging technologies, ensuring top-tier services for its clients. Their ability to provide comprehensive solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential sectors has solidified their position as key players in the industry.

“McAllister’s name has been synonymous with exceptional water and drainage services for the industry,” Vellano remarked. The continuity and success of the business owe much to its founders, Leo and Pete McAllister, whose commitment to hiring a capable workforce, investing in technology, and maintaining strong client relations continues to uphold their legacy.

As Vortex Companies celebrates its 10th anniversary, it reinforces its status as a leader in innovative trenchless infrastructure solutions. The organization specializes in advanced technologies and provides turnkey services tailored to economically renew municipal, industrial, and commercial infrastructure systems. With a diverse portfolio that includes rehabilitation materials for manholes and pipelines, polymeric coatings, CIPP lining, robotic solutions for sewer systems, and high-speed drain cleaning tools, Vortex is committed to delivering cost-effective and innovative solutions backed by a highly skilled team.

Fueled by this acquisition, Vortex’s commitment to providing innovative solutions in the rehabilitation of infrastructure is set to strengthen, furthering its global reach. The company operates in 29 locations worldwide, rendering it well-positioned to leverage this acquisition to its advantage. For more detailed information, visit Vortex Companies.
