“The opening of the company’s first overseas office is a natural outgrowth of the strength of Piedmont and PWT customers’ base already present in Europe and the Middle East,” said Frédéric Dugré, president and CEO of H2O Innovation. “The European office of H2O Innovation is evidence of our commitment to building a lasting presence in the European market and to invest in long-term customer relationships.”
“I am excited to lead the expansion of H2O Innovation in Europe through our presence in Spain. Both Piedmont and PWT are well positioned in the market, but will benefit from more brand awareness - in particular among the small and medium OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Customer loyalty, mainly from Spanish engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies and the general demand from the Middle East, has fueled continued growth, making the local facility not only a necessity, but also a logical and promising decision,” said Ties Venema, H2O Innovation’s general manager in Europe.
