• New selling rights and intellectual property assets position CONTECH for international growth
WEST CHESTER, OH, March 7, 2008 -- CONTECH Construction Products Inc. announced that it has acquired the European SurfSep license which includes the intellectual property assets and selling rights for the stormwater runoff market.
SurfSep's stormwater technology, more commonly known as CDS (Continuous Deflection Separation) has been owned in the United States by CONTECH since 2006, but was previously offered by Copa Ltd. in Europe.
"We added the CDS technology to our offering in the United States to provide our customers with the most comprehensive selection of stormwater products available," said Rick Stepien, president of CONTECH Stormwater Solutions Inc. "As we looked into expanding our business globally, we were committed to bringing that same best in class offering to our customers wherever their geographic location might be. Coupled with our Vortechs, StormFilter and CON/SPAN product lines , the new European rights to CDS allow us to do that."
CDS stormwater products will be sold throughout Europe by CONTECH and its sales representatives. "The European Union's Water Framework Directive, will create demand for stormwater treatment technologies throughout Europe," said Stepien. "CONTECH is now ready to respond with a proven technology already established in the United Kingdom, Ireland and France."
