Pentair sells off aquaculture business!
Water treatment specialist Pentair Plc is exiting the aquaculture
business and selling related units to focus its strength on the
residential and commercial pool segments.
A spokesperson for the Minneapolis-headquartered company said
the firm will sell the Vaki business unit under the Aquatic Eco-Systems
Division, which is specialized in aquaculture-related products and
services. Vaki specifically provides fish handling, counting and grading
solutions. Pentair will also divest itself of the Chile operations and
the online catalog operation.
"While we believe the aquaculture
business offers attractive long-term opportunities, the short term
business model does not meet our expectations. Pentair will not have any
business related to aquaculture once the sale process is complete,"
spokesperson Rebecca Osborn told Aquaculture North America (ANA).
About 35 employees in the Pentair Aquatic Eco-Systems Division are being let go as soon as June 5 as a result of the decision.
"We
plan to operate business as usual as we navigate through the sale
process. We are dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition for our
customers, and will be communicating with customers," Osborne added.
