CECO Environmental announced yesterday that it has acquired SAT Technology, a provider of volatile organic compounds abatement services for the Chinese air pollution market.
Based in Shanghai, SAT Technology has about $5 million in annual revenue and 17 employees.
CECO will keep the entire SAT Technology organization, including its president, Leo Liau, who will become part of the CECO China and Asian Leadership team.
According to Jeff Lang of CECO, the company plans to expand its operations in China both organically and through acquisitions, adding that SAT Technology is highly complementary to its Adwest Technology unit.
Earlier this year it was announced that China would limit its carbon pollution starting in 2016 by writing a CO2 emissions cap into its next five-year plan, according to government officials.
CECO’s acquisition comes on the heels of its acquisition last year of Met-Pro, a global provider of product recovery, pollution control, fluid handling and filtration systems.
Last year CECO received several new orders totaling $17 million. The company says these new orders were from natural gas and traditional power customers located in Asia, Australia and the US, as well as from oil refinery, chemical and large industrial customers in the US, China and Germany.
