COSTA MESA, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2015) – JWC Environmental (JWC) has entered into an agreement to acquire IPEC Consultants, Ltd. (IPEC), a manufacturer of solids/liquid separation products for wastewater and specialty industrial process liquids.
“The missions of JWC and IPEC are highly aligned. Both companies strive to provide the most advanced and reliable waste separation and reduction systems on the market,” said Ken Biele, CEO of JWC Environmental. “JWC saw this opportunity as a natural progression of our efforts to expand our successful Monster Separation Systems coarse and fine screen products to a larger audience.”
Since 1979, IPEC has developed drum screens, sludge thickeners, grit separators and solids conveyance and dewatering equipment for a diverse range of markets in 47 countries.
As part of the acquisition, Bert Irwin, founder and owner of IPEC, will join the JWC executive team to support the ongoing business. “We are pleased to become part of such a respected and trusted leader in the wastewater industry,” said Irwin. “Their strong global presence, extensive field service network and significant financial resources will allow the IPEC product lineup to better serve a much wider customer base.”
JWC Environmental offers solids reduction and removal for the wastewater industry with its Muffin Monster grinders and Monster screening, compaction and washing systems.
