The acquisition would result in an integrated turnkey offer for water and wastewater solutions offering customers a ‘one-stop shop’ and benefit from Nijhuis added value services like i-Consult, i-Monitoring & Control and Operations. Therewith also addressing the fast-growing demand to deliver solid and adaptive solutions for a sustainable and resilient future.”.
