Axius Water® acquires MITA Water Technologies®, a leader in wastewater treatment and filtration

POCASSET, MA USA (September 5, 2024):  Axius Water (“Axius”), a leading provider of nutrient management solutions for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities, announced today that it has acquired MITA Water Technologies, a leading supplier of wastewater filtration systems based in Siziano, Italy. This acquisition follows the successful partnership forged in 2022 to leverage Axius’ U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Columbia, Missouri to become the manufacturing facility for Made-in-America MITA pile cloth filters for North American customers. MITA Water Technologies was formerly part of MITA Group®.

According to Chris McIntire, Axius CEO, “We are thrilled to welcome MITA Water Technologies to Axius after a long standing and successful commercial partnership. Not only do these technologies broaden our mission to stop nutrient pollution, but the acquisition also broadens our reach from our North American headquarters and U.K. foothold further into Europe.”

With over 50 years of industry expertise, MITA Water Technologies’ products and industry experts are now part of the well-established Axius Water team. MITA Water Technologies has a wide range of robust, reliable and proven offerings appropriate for either small municipal or industrial treatment facilities, or for large urban plants, and broadens the Axius portfolio to include:

  • Pile cloth filters
  • Biorulli® for biological wastewater treatment
  • Biocombi compact plants for small communities
  • Lamella pack systems for clarification and oil removal
  • Continuous sand filters for tertiary treatment
  • Dissolved air floatation systems for civil wastewater and process water

“We look forward to joining Axius and to the many opportunities that come with being part of this larger water-focused group that aligns closely with our area of expertise. With our solid partnership already in place, this transaction is a win-win and will allow us to continue to operate as business as usual,” stated Tommaso Pittini, MITA Water Technologies General Manager.

As part of Axius, MITA Water Technologies will have access to an expanded suite of best-in-class water and wastewater solutions and be able to reach a greater number of communities of all sizes in North America and in Europe. MITA Water Technologies will have the resources associated with working side-by-side with Axius operating companies including ATAC Solutions™, EDI® (Environmental Dynamics International®), EOSi™ (Environmental Operating Solutions™), Napier-Reid®, Nexom® and Triplepoint™.
