Trojan Technologies has added Salsnes Filter AS of Namsos, Norway, to its group of businesses. After the regulatory review period, the acquisition closed on January 19, 2012. “Salsnes delivers a technology that fits well into our municipal business,” says Marv DeVries, Trojan president. “A leader in the market, their product brings added value to our global customers and aligns with Trojan's goals for providing sustainable technologies and smaller-footprint solutions.”
Salsnes Filter’s fully automated filter technology removes particles from municipal and industrial process water. The technology is also an alternative to a primary settling stage for traditional chemical/biological treatment facilities or for preventing membrane bioreactor (MBR) fouling.
“This partnership will allow us to achieve a higher level of performance,” says Ivar Solvi, Salsnes managing director. Founded in 1991, Salsnes Filter is represented in many countries and will continue to operate out of Namsos with production facilities in Salsnes, Norway.
