Mott Corp. has acquired a Michigan-based engineering company that specializes in advanced water filtration systems, the company announced Thursday.
Mott Corp., a Farmington-based filtration systems manufacturer, announced it closed on thte purchase of Digested Organics, which manufactures advanced filtration products that aim to reduce wastewater disposal costs, reclaim clean water for reuse and produce valuable co-products, according to the company.
Mott officials said the acquisition adds to the company’s existing clean energy portfolio. Digested Organics develops customized filtration technology that it said can reduce the costs for farmers of disposing millions of gallons of wastewater by converting it into clean water and products like fertilizer and animal bedding. The company also develops technology that facilitates the conversion of organic wastes into renewable energy sources.
Digested Organics CEO Bobby Levine will remain head of the company following the acquisition. Further, through Mott’s employee stock ownership program, Digested Organics employees will now own a part of Mott, which is 100% employee-owned.
Mott Corp. has been active on the growth front in 2023. In February the company announced plans to open a new 65,000-square-foot facility near its Farmington headquarters that will double production capacity for its custom-designed engineering business.
The new facility at 1690 New Britain Ave., will add about 100 new jobs, the company said, and is expected to open during the first quarter of 2024.
