Clearford Water Systems announced Friday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Essel, a large Indian company with interests in the media, entertainment, packaging, infrastructure, education, precious metals and technology sectors.
The MOU, signed as part of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s trade mission to India, is meant “to forge a strategic partnership” that would bring Clearford’s wastewater collection and treatment system, called Clearford One, to India.
The two-year agreement will see the companies work together to identify projects where Clearford could place a bid. Essel will also help Clearford work through all the regulations necessary to install its systems at various locations across India.
