Waterlogic has expanded its operations in Colombia with the acquisition of Aquamaq. Founded in 2002, Aquamaq offers point-of-use (POU) water dispensers, purifiers and filters. The acquisition is said to add "substantial growth" to the Waterlogic business and expands the company's machine range to a diverse customer base in 131 cities across Colombia. "This integration will allow us to reach a significant number of new clients, delivering our innovative technology and 'total care service'," said Waterlogic's managing director for Latin America, Rodrigo Serres. "Colombia’s POU market has been rapidly embracing Waterlogic’s technology, delivering water of a high purity level and helping protect users against Covid-19." Last month, Waterlogic and Culligan International signed an agreement to create a combined water solutions and services company.
