Culligan-owned Quench has acquired Pure Aqua Tech of Michigan in a move to further expand its footprint. Founded in 2006, Pure Aqua Tech of Michigan is a provider of point-of-use drinking water systems and ice dispensers in northern Michigan. The company is a Wellsys dealer. “We are excited to welcome Pure Aqua Tech’s customers to the Quench family and to expand our footprint into northern Michigan,” said Todd Peterson, COO of Quench. “This acquisition is our first of 2022 and demonstrates our continued commitment to provide assistance to our dealers from start-up all the way through to exit.” Scott Crumbaugh, former owner of Pure Aqua Tech of Michigan, added: “Our customers will be thrilled with Quench’s industry-leading products and customer service”. Quench announced a number of acquisitions last year, including the purchases of Go Pure Water Technology, LaPure Water and Eastern Pure Water.
