Pennsylvania/USA – Aquatech has announced that it will acquire Metito Chemical Solutions (Metichem), a UAE-based leader in advanced water-treatment chemicals and operations & maintenance (O&M) services across industrial, municipal, and institutional markets in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia. Metichem will continue to operate as a standalone business within Aquatech’s global services division.

Drawing on seven decades of technical and operational experience built up by Metito’s operations and maintenance business, Metichem’s seasoned workforce and outstanding customer service have seen it rapidly emerge as a regional leader in water services for industrial, commercial and municipal clients. Today, Metichem offers a comprehensive portfolio of performance chemicals and full-scope O&M expertise, with 700 employees and service contracts executed across 46 countries.

The acquisition expands Aquatech’s ability to deliver complete water lifecycle solutions, spanning chemicals, digital optimization, and long-term plant performance to industrial customers worldwide. Integrating Metichem’s specialty chemical programs and O&M capabilities allows us to deliver more complete, data-driven solutions that enhance uptime and reduce total water cost.

“This acquisition unites two companies that share the same vision: to optimize water systems through innovation, safety, and performance excellence,” said Devesh Sharma, CEO at Aquatech. “Their strong presence across the Middle East and Asia, combined with our global water technology and digital platforms, will enable our industrial water customers to maximize efficiency, reliability, and sustainability at any site, no matter how big or small.”
