Aquatech Expands Its Reach with Acquisition of Metito Chemical Solutions
CANONSBURG, Pa. – August 3, 2026 – In a significant strategic move within the global water services sector, Aquatech has officially announced its acquisition of UAE-based Metito Chemical Solutions, now rebranded as Metichem, an Aquatech Company. This partnership is poised to enhance Aquatech’s capabilities in providing holistic water lifecycle solutions across the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The collaboration between these two entities is particularly noteworthy given Aquatech’s extensive international experience juxtaposed with Metichem’s established local expertise. Both companies boast a rich history of successful project implementation in regions that include the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia. With years of deep-rooted contributions to the water management field, this merger seeks to formalize a partnership that not only enhances operational capabilities but also prioritizes environmental sustainability.
The announcement was celebrated with a gathering of over 300 employees from three continents on July 30, the same day Metichem unveiled its new logo. This event was particularly special as it coincided with Aquatech’s 45th anniversary, marking a dual milestone of growth and celebration for both organizations.
Mike Abla, Managing Director at Metichem, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the acquisition: “Today marks the close of one chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one. We are here because of the dedication of our people, and I am grateful to the Aquatech team for welcoming us as partners throughout this journey. Together, we are building a strong foundation for the future, and I look forward to embracing that future as one team.”
With this acquisition, the combined strength of Aquatech and Metichem allows the companies to offer an expanded suite of services. Their portfolio now includes cutting-edge treatment technologies, specialty chemical solutions, comprehensive operations and maintenance services, alongside innovative digital tools designed to enhance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability throughout the water lifecycle. By leveraging their shared resources, the firms can stay ahead of industry trends while offering customized solutions tailored to their clients’ diverse needs.
Andrew Parke, Executive Vice President of Services at Aquatech, lauded Metichem’s dedication to customer satisfaction and operational excellence: “Metichem has built a strong business through its commitment to customers and operational excellence. We have tremendous respect for what they have achieved, and we are excited to begin this next chapter together.”
Further reinforcing the synergetic nature of the acquisition, Devesh Sharma, CEO of Aquatech, noted the organizations’ alignment in values and operational competencies. “This partnership brings together two organizations with shared values, complementary strengths, and a common commitment to serving our customers. We look forward to learning from one another, growing together, and delivering even greater value to our clients around the world.”
It is important for customers of both Aquatech and Metichem to note that existing contracts, service agreements, and points of contact will remain unchanged following the acquisition. Clients are encouraged to continue their communications and interactions with their current representatives from each respective company.
The strategic takeover is set against the backdrop of growing demand for advanced water solutions, amid escalating challenges related to water scarcity and quality across many nations. Addressing these issues requires not only innovative technologies but also a collaborative approach that combines international insight with regional knowledge. The merger of Aquatech and Metichem could well serve as a blueprint for future partnerships in an industry increasingly focused on sustainability.
