Let's Make a Deal

It’s all about deal flow and recent M&A activity in the water sector. Bluefield’s Eric Bindler and Mariel Marchand share their perspectives on utility acquisitions, utility O&M, and digital water transactions in what can be considered a new environment, even for water. While talking about broader trends, some of the companies discussed include Aquatic Informatics, Danaher, XPV, and Veolia. Questions raised in the discussion: What is the state of the market and drivers for deal flow? Do we think more deals are in the making? What’s the role of private equity in deal flow?
