The new Ohio-based Fairmount Water Solutions will include existing Fairmount Minerals ventures Best Sand Corp and Wedron Silica Co, suppliers of sand and gravel filtration media for municipal and industrial water filtration, and technology licensed from Kinetico Inc, a manufacturer of water treatment systems, also based in Ohio.
“Fairmount Minerals has 14 company-wide sustainability teams focused on ways our company can contribute to the most pressing issues of our time,” explained Chuck Fowler, Fairmount Minerals president and CEO. “One of those, the Clean Water team, has taught us to appreciate the growing importance of potable water. From that research and our work with filtration sand and gravel we’ve identified a need for increased media performance and better technology support in the municipal and industrial water filtration markets.”
