Trelleborg Group Finalizes NuFlow Technologies Acquisition
Trelleborg Group, through its business area Trelleborg Industrial Solutions, officially closed on its acquisition of NuFlow Technologies.
“This partnership is a huge boost to NuFlow and to our worldwide network of certified contractors,” says Tom Bowman, president of NuFlow. “Being able to leverage not just their leadership and shared resources, but also the technologies and expertise of their pipe repair offering will allow us to expand our solutions into new markets and serve more customers than ever before.”
NuFlow, headquartered in Escondido, California, produces specialist liners, resins, and equipment for small-diameter pipe repair. Its manufacturing operations are in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. The business offers repair solutions for lateral and building interior pipes for residential and commercial segments.
“NuFlow has been a leader in small diameter pipe lining for over 25 years, so they are a natural complement to our pipe repair business,” says Antonio Gerolimetto, managing director product area global pipe repair at Trelleborg. “We share their commitment to installer training programs and working with industry organizations to promote trenchless technologies as a more sustainable and cost-effective solution to the challenge of aging pipe infrastructure.”
This acquisition marks a notable milestone in Trelleborg’s journey towards growth and expansion in pipe rehabilitation. The integration of NuFlow with Trelleborg opens new avenues for collaboration, innovation, and growth, and enhances the quality and scope of the products and services Trelleborg provides in North America and worldwide.
In May 2024, Trelleborg acquired the Finnish pipe repair specialist Boldan, strengthening the business’s position in the Nordic region. Bolt-on acquisitions, combined with investments in existing operations, align with the Group’s strategy to increase exposure to water infrastructure. This industry is set for significant growth as utility providers and local authorities address neglected critical infrastructure in the coming years.
