Vortex Companies Expands Influence with Sancon Technologies Acquisition

Vortex Companies Acquires Sancon Technologies

On January 10, 2025, Vortex Companies, LLC, recognized as a leader in trenchless infrastructure solutions within the United States, proudly announced its acquisition of Sancon Technologies, Inc. This strategic move marks a significant step in Vortex's effort to expand its service capabilities and enhance its reputation in water and wastewater management.

Founded in 2012 and based in Huntington Beach, California, Sancon has established itself as a trusted authority in trenchless rehabilitation services across California and Nevada. With a solid track record and a stellar reputation in the industry, Sancon has been delivering exceptional quality and reliability, making them an ideal addition to Vortex's growing portfolio.

According to Vortex CEO Mike Vellano, the decision to acquire Sancon was driven by the company's robust management team and their proven expertise in trenchless technologies. "Sancon has earned an outstanding reputation in our industry, driven by its strong management team and proven expertise," Vellano stated. "As a long-time licensee of CIPP Corp and a user of Vortex's UV technology, sewer robotics, epoxies, and geopolymer lining products, Sancon's established presence on the West Coast makes them an ideal addition to the Vortex portfolio."

Sancon’s management team, led by industry veterans Chuck Parsons, Gary Drew, and Ryan Helmuth, brings decades of trenchless technology experience to Vortex. Parsons remarked, "Joining the Vortex family allows us to access resources that were previously unavailable, broadening our service offerings. We’ve cultivated a strong relationship with Vortex over the years and look forward to expanding our comprehensive portfolio of solutions."

The acquisition is expected to significantly boost Vortex’s capabilities. By integrating Sancon's specialized equipment and long-term customer relationships into its existing operations, Vortex aims to strengthen its foothold on the West Coast and meet the increasing market demand for trenchless rehabilitation solutions. COO Ryan Graham emphasized the growing need for such services, stating, "The market demand for trenchless rehabilitation solutions continues to grow, particularly in the western states and the California market. Sancon's expertise aligns with our mission to deliver environmentally friendly and cost-effective infrastructure solutions to our customers."

With this acquisition, Vortex Companies reaffirms its commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of infrastructure management. Celebrating ten years of operation, the firm has built a global reputation as a leader in trenchless water and sewer solutions. Operating from 27 locations worldwide, Vortex specializes in a wide range of advanced technologies and turnkey services for municipal, industrial, and commercial systems.

Sancon Technologies also brings a wealth of experience with over 40 years in the industry, successfully rehabilitating millions of square feet of sewer structures using their advanced coatings and custom pipelining systems. Their expertise is expected to complement Vortex's current offerings, allowing both companies to better serve public agencies and other clients.

The financial details surrounding the acquisition have not been disclosed, but both companies express optimism about the future integration and the benefits it will bring to their customers and operations. The partnership is set to enhance the capabilities of Vortex in providing innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of the water and wastewater infrastructure sector.
