Aqua Control acquires Aeration Technologies

Pond management equipment manufacturers align their operations

Floating fountain and aerator manufacturer Aqua Control of Spring Valley, Ill., acquired Aeration Technologies based in Burnsville, N.C.

Aeration Technologies manufactures lake bed aeration equipment. Its former owner Cary Martin joins Aqua Control as the East Coast regional sales manager. Martin will be based in Orlando, Fla.

“From a strategic perspective, it made sense to purchase Aeration Technologies,” said Jeromy Raatz Aqua Control’s c.e.o. “Aqua Control is a leader in the floating fountain and aerator market and by acquiring Aeration Technologies, we have accomplished two goals. The first is an immediate presence in the growing lake bed aeration market and the second fulfills our need for a regional sales manager to support our growth.”

All manufacturing will take place at Aqua Control’s Spring Valley facility. Sales, support and requests for information will come from Aqua Control as of August 12.
