Benchmark International

Benchmark International is pleased to announce the sale of Dublin-based Industrial Water Management to German-based EnviroChemie Group, a subsidiary of SKion Water GmbH.

Industrial Water Management has been established since 1974 and is engaged in the manufacture and supply of boiler and cooling water treatment chemicals and technical backup services, secondary disinfection equipment, remedial services and other water hygiene solutions to the commercial, industrial and healthcare sectors. With 30 employees, IWM generates an annual turnover of approximately €3 million.

Founded in 1976, EnviroChemie supplies sustainable system solutions worldwide for all the tasks involved in industrial water treatment and the treatment of process water, circulation water, cooling water, boiler water and wastewater. The company serves customers in industrial and commercial sectors such as pharmaceuticals & biotechnology, automotive, transportation, chemicals, dairy, food & beverage, metals, mining, public swimming pools & spas, and textiles.

The acquisition of IWM will strengthen the mutual competencies in the companies’ markets and expand the range of services available for customers. This transaction will give EnviroChemie a presence in Ireland, giving these customers the potential to benefit from EnviroChemie’s broad range of products and services as well as local support from IWM.

Conor O' Donovan, CEO of IWM, commented: "The high level of competence and diverse experience of the experts at EnviroChemie Group will enhance IWM’s capacity in providing comprehensive support to our customers in Ireland. We are also proud to bring our expertise, specifically in water hygiene and legionella treatment, to the customers of our new colleagues. Many existing and new customers will benefit from the expansion of EnviroChemie Group's range of services with complete solutions for process water and wastewater".

On behalf of everyone at Benchmark International, we would like to wish both parties the very best going forward.
