SpringTide Holdings

What SpringTide Holdings does

SpringTide Holdings Inc. is a privately held, family-controlled investment holding company headquartered in Milverton, Ontario, Canada, established in 2021 (formerly Boshart Group, rebranded December 2022). It invests in and operates a portfolio of five North American businesses serving the water and wastewater equipment industry: Boshart Industries (manufacturer and master distributor of plumbing and water well accessories, founded 1955, 3 North American locations), Flomatic Valves (manufacturer of valves for water and wastewater, founded 1933, Glens Falls NY), J.D. Pump Distributors (water-related distribution, founded 2009, Winnipeg MB), Rideau Supply (wholesale distributor of pumps, tanks, and water treatment supplies, founded 1975, 8 locations across Ontario and Atlantic Canada), and Simmons Manufacturing (manufacturer of water well supplies, founded 1957, McDonough GA, acquired December 2021).

The holding company's operating model is decentralized: each subsidiary retains its own brand, leadership, and customer relationships, while SpringTide provides centralized investment, strategic, financial, and IT support. End markets span plumbing, water well, industrial, HVAC, PVF, waterworks, wastewater, irrigation, and pool and spa channels. Revenue is generated through B2B wholesale distribution and OEM/component manufacturing; no pricing models, revenue figures, or specific end-customer logos are publicly disclosed.

The platform is led by CEO Jeremy Kuepfer (appointed January 2021, previously 21 years at Boshart Industries) with Gary Boshart (founder, now Legacy Advisor) retaining a role. The parent also retains a CFO and CIO, indicating a maturing governance structure. No institutional PE, VC, or public-market capital is evidenced, and the ownership base appears concentrated within the Boshart family. No AI/ML, software, or technology-platform capabilities are disclosed across the portfolio.
