Premier Tech Water and Environment

What Premier Tech Water and Environment does

Premier Tech Water and Environment is the water, wastewater, and environmental business group of Premier Tech Ltd., a private family-owned Canadian conglomerate founded in 1923. Headquartered in Rivière-du-Loup, Québec, the group operates in 12 countries across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia with approximately 1,500 team members, organized around five brands: Ecoflo (flagship coconut-husk biofilter septic systems), Rewatec (advanced treatment, rainwater harvesting, and storage), Calona (chemical and liquid storage), Ecoprocess (municipal and industrial EPC services), and Eparco (French-market compact filtration systems).

The company designs, manufactures, distributes, and services decentralized water and wastewater treatment systems spanning residential-scale septic systems to municipal plants up to 20,000 m3 per day. Core technologies include the proprietary Ecoflo coco filter (energy-free biological treatment using renewable coconut husk media), sequencing batch reactors (SBR), moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR) achieving up to 99% CBOD5 and 94% NH4 reduction, UV disinfection, and a portfolio of storage, attenuation, and forecourt separation products. Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: one-time product sales across residential, commercial, and municipal segments; recurring maintenance and parts contracts (over 60,000 systems serviced annually worldwide via a network of local partners); project-based engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services particularly in India and France; and direct e-commerce parts distribution in Canada. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, channel partner installers and contractors, and direct-to-consumer service in the UK market.

Growth is being driven by an aggressive acquisition cadence (seven deals between 2022 and 2026), new manufacturing capacity in the United States (Pennsylvania, 2024) and France (Montbrison, 2024), a new Iberian logistics platform in Spain (2025), and a €4.5M three-year R&D partnership with INRAE on treated wastewater reuse under France's France 2030 program. Customer base is highly fragmented across more than 225,000 Ecoflo residential installations and a long tail of commercial and municipal accounts, with multiple product certifications (BNQ, NSF/ANSI 40 and 245, CSA) supporting regulatory defensibility across core North American and European markets.
