Sciens Water’s First Exit: A Strategic Move in Water Infrastructure?? Sciens Water has successfully completed the first exit from its water portfolio, selling?CROM, a leading water tank construction and maintenance company, to?Frontenac, a Chicago-based private equity firm. Under Sciens’ ownership, CROM underwent a?strategic?transformation, expanding its?services business, diversifying its?product offerings, and strengthening its position as a?water?infrastructure solutions provider?rather than just a specialty construction company. This shift tripled the size of CROM’s services division, making up at least a third of its revenue and EBITDA—enhancing its attractiveness to potential buyers. Key highlights from the sale: ? Strengthened recurring revenue through expanded services ? Diversified beyond cylindrical water tanks with?CROM2, a modular tank solution ? Positioned for future growth in water asset maintenance and wastewater treatment Sciens Water’s portfolio continues to focus on key water infrastructure assets, including?Central States Water Resources?and?Integrated Water Services, as it advances its long-term investment strategy in the water sector.

As?Arick Wierson, Storyteller?highlights in his article,?the financial and regulatory burden is growing, and private sector investment will be critical to ensuring clean, safe water for communities nationwide. ? Alexander Loucopoulos, Partner at Sciens Water, shares insights on the scale of the issue and the urgent need for funding solutions. As Alex told The Observer "Including capital and operating expenditures, we estimate that water utilities will need something on the order of $40-50 billion in investment to become EPA-compliant over the next decade.?Where will that money come from??In our view, the private sector has to play a role here.” ? What role do you think the private sector should play in addressing PFAS contamination??Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
