Kemira Oyj Press Release, January 9, 2026 at 8.00 am EET
Kemira, a global leader in sustainable chemical solutions for water-intensive industries, has completed the acquisition of AquaBlue, Inc., a privately-owned company based in Ohio, USA. The deal, valued at under USD 10 million, strengthens Kemira’s position in North America and supports its growth in industrial water treatment services – a sector growing faster than traditional water treatment markets.
AquaBlue provides wastewater and industrial water treatment services for customers in food & beverage, manufacturing, and healthcare. The company expects 2025 revenue of about USD 9 million and employs eight people.
“This acquisition enhances our ability to deliver more value to customers by combining AquaBlue’s service expertise with Kemira’s technologies,” said Tuija Pohjolainen-Hiltunen, EVP, Water Solutions. “It’s the first acquisition since we purchased Water Engineering, Inc., which has provided us with a solid platform for organic and inorganic growth in industrial water treatment services in North America.”
AquaBlue will be integrated into Kemira’s Water Solutions unit and continue operating from its current location.
