European water treatment company Best Water Technology-​Group has announced its acquisition of Culligan International (UK), a UK affiliate of the US-​based Culligan Group.

Under the acquisition, Culligan International (UK) Ltd will be renamed BWT UK Limited and will be a UK provider of domestic and commercial water treatment products and bottled water.

BWT CEO, Andreas Weissenbacher, said: “This deal sets one of the last important milestones for BWT’s geographic expansion in Europe. We cordially welcome 160 new employees in the UK to our BWT family.”

Jon Wicks, MD of Culligan International (UK), said: “We’re excited by the opportunities that the BWT product range brings, to offer enhanced solutions to our customers in the domestic and commercial marketplaces.

“BWT mirrors our UK market approach, and their wealth of experience and technical expertise will allow us greater growth opportunities.”

This follows the sale in June this year of Culligan International Company’s vended water business, operated by Culligan Store Solutions (CSS), to water retail company Primo Water.
