LaSalle/Peru, IL – Carus Corporation announced that effective 29 April 2008, it has acquired the business and assets of DBI Remediation Products, LLC, Fishers, IN, a leading manufacturer and marketer of bioremediation products. “This acquisition represents Carus’ commitment to strengthen and expand the remediation technology offerings globally,” stated Inga Carus, President and CEO of Carus Corporation.
Steven Irvin and Dan Bryant, founders and principal shareholders of DBI Remediation Products, LLC, endorsed Carus’ purchase of the business and their intentions to further strengthen its remediation product offerings. The founders commented “The combined resources of Carus and DBI provide unparalleled support for our clients.”
Matt Dingens, Global Market Manager, Remediation Technologies, Carus Corporation, expressed great optimism for this purchase. “Most of our customers are currently combining in-situ chemical oxidation with some type of bioremediation at their sites. Our acquisition will now give our customers a single source for their remediation products. The combination of DBI’s innovative biostimulation products and Carus’ established infrastructure will benefit Carus’ and DBI’s customers through expanded customer service, technical support, and sales representation.”
