H2O INNOVATION: PIEDMONT EXPANDS ITS GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK AND WINS MAJOR CONTRACTS

H2O Innovation Inc.'s independent subsidiary, Piedmont, has signed new distribution agreements and won new contracts for its coupling and FRP cartridge filter housing product lines.

Over the last months, Piedmont has entered into five distribution agreements with partners strategically positioned to support its international growth. These new Piedmont distributors and representatives are coming from Vietnam, Taiwan, Chile's central and Antofagasta regions and the United States Midwest. "Adding these new distributors to our existing network put us in an even better position to serve our global customers within the small and medium sized OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) by offering local inventories of flexible couplings and cartridge filter housing for their project needs," stated Ties Venema, commercial director of Piedmont.

Piedmont has also signed new contracts for large SWRO projects in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United States and Egypt. In addition, Piedmont has been selected for the supply of corrosion-resistant products for three offshore-oil-and-gas-platform water makers.
