“This acquisition represents another step in enhancing the abilities and performance of our rapidly growing PureHM division,” Elliot said. “We are pleased with the opportunity to augment the robust growth of our PureHM business with a well-run company that has been successful in a very competitive and fragmented market. E-MAC has built a profitable business that complements PureHM through an improved customer offering, increased capacity to perform additional pipeline surveys and recurring work with new customers. Through the positive working relationship we’ve enjoyed with E-MAC over the years, we anticipate integration to be seamless while accelerating our overall growth plans. We expect this acquisition to be immediately accretive to Pure.”

In addition, E-MAC provides pipeline owners with comprehensive corrosion prevention programs including consulting, system management and associated product sales.
Through the acquisition of E-MAC’s business and related assets, PureHM significantly improves its position within the North American pipeline corrosion sector, becoming an end-to-end solution provider with the added benefit of leveraging the Company’s leading technologies and new innovative products. E-MAC is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, with local offices in Calgary, Alberta, and Surrey, British Columbia.
