The move further enhances RSE’s product and technologies focus, with Aquazone’s vast range of standardised chemical dosing and water treatment solutions, coupled with an extensive fleet of hire products and its geographic coverage. RSE continues to differentiate itself within the market as it pivots to high volume, repeatable and sustainable solutions – with off-site manufacturing reducing construction schedules, enhancing quality, offering greater cost certainty and a lasting impact on the environment.
Current owners Alan Williams and Chad Ellis will continue to lead the business as part of RSE.
Steve Slessor, chief executive of RSE said: “I am delighted to welcome Chad, Alan and the Aquazone team to RSE. This acquisition strengthens our strategic diversification into the rental market, providing clients with flexible solutions as CAPEX budgets tighten. It supports our ongoing disruption of the water sector to meet the upcoming challenges of AMP8, while driving further growth in chemical and biological markets, aligning with our vision for innovation and sustainable solutions.”
Managing director (chemical & biological treatment), Connor Morton said: “I am excited to be working with the Aquazone team. Over the years, we have admired their growth and ability to deliver high-quality products with impressive speed. With Aquazone joining RSE, we are further enhancing our leadership in water treatment and bringing new, innovative ideas to tackle future challenges. We look forward to supporting their journey as they celebrate 30 years and beyond.”
Aquazone directors, Alan Williams and Chad Ellis, said in statement: “We have joined the RSE family at an amazing time. Our own ambitions to grow the business and develop our product offering aligns perfectly with RSE’s. To meet the future needs of our customers and the wider markets we serve, the consolidated support of industry experts in our field is unrivalled.
