Their offerings fit perfectly with our core purpose to provide innovative, reliable products that ensure safe water delivery in even challenging conditions."

He said, "We’re excited to combine resources and serve our customers better by leveraging Opus Water's expansive team and expertise."

The addition of Yeary Controls to Opus Water's portfolio is part of a broader strategy to create a robust suite of engineered solutions designed to tackle complex fluid handling challenges in various industries.

This strategic acquisition is underscored by Opus Water's previous acquisitions, emphasizing its commitment to build a best-in-class collection of engineered flow control solutions centered on quality and customer satisfaction.
