Atlas Copco to acquire specialty dewatering services provider in Australia

Nacka, Sweden, April 17, 2023: Atlas Copco has agreed to acquire National Pump & Energy (NPE). The business provides dewatering, environmental services and water treatment solutions in Australia and New Zealand.

“NPE has strong market recognition, and great expertise”, said Andrew Walker, Business Area President Power Technique. “The acquisition will strengthen our presence in dewatering and water treatment, which is an area where needs are increasing due to climate change and more frequent flooding events. This is driving the need for fast response and specialty dewatering solutions.”

The company provides specialty environmental services and water treatment solutions for large and complex dewatering and sewage bypass projects. The main customer segments of the company include infrastructure construction and municipalities. NPE is also specialized in dewatering solutions for mining connected to metals needed in electrification.
