Clearford Water Systems reported a major boost in revenue for the first quarter of 2015 compared with a year earlier, thanks in large part to its November 2014 acquisition of Toronto-based UV Pure Technologies.
The Ottawa-based wastewater collection and treatment firm posted revenues of $776,149 for the quarter, up from $298,245 in the same three-month period in 2014. UV Pure’s revenue accounted for $746,000 of that total.
“We are very pleased with UV Pure posting 28 per cent year-over-year growth in revenue, and solid profitability in its first full quarter post-acquisition,” Clearford CEO Kevin Loiselle said in a statement.
