Aqua Control Acquires Aeration Technologies

Aqua Control, Spring Valley, Ill., announced that it has acquired Aeration Technologies, based in Burnsville, N.C.

Aeration Technologies is an emerging leader in the manufacturing of Lake Bed Aeration equipment. The company was owned by Cary Martin who has agreed to become the East Coast Regional Sales Manager for Aqua Control. Cary will be based in Orlando, Fla.

“From a strategic perspective, it made sense to purchase Aeration Technologies,” said Jeromy Raatz, CEO of Aqua Control.  “Aqua Control is a leader in the floating fountain and aerator market and by acquiring Aeration Technologies, we have accomplished two goals. The first is an immediate presence in the growing lake bed aeration market and the second fulfills our need for a regional sales manager to support our growth.”

Aqua Control Sales Manager, Chad Imig, said, “Our distribution benefits immediately from having a superior product with the same high level of service and support that they expect from us. Cary Martin brings to Aqua Control many years of lake and pond management experience in addition, to strong sales and customer service skills. He is an industry expert and has tremendous knowledge of aeration and water quality.”

All manufacturing will take place at Aqua Control’s Spring Valley facility. Sales, support and requests for information will come from Aqua Control as of Aug. 12, 2008. They can be reached at 1-800-377-0019 or info@aquacontrol.com.
