Deal overview
Christeyns has acquired a majority stake in Veride, a Belgian engineering company specialising in industrial wastewater treatment, water reuse and sludge management. Veride will continue to trade under its own name and retain a high degree of operational autonomy.
HydRO Global Solution and technology
In 2021 the two companies established HydRO Global Solution (HGS), a 50:50 joint venture to develop the international market for HydRO technology. HydRO is a compact, plug-and-play system that treats wastewater and converts it into reusable process water; in industrial laundries the technology enables at least 80% of process water to be reclaimed and is also applied in the food and cosmetics industries. The majority stake builds on the partners' joint work on HydRO and aims to create further opportunities to support industrial customers with water treatment and reuse.
Strategic fit with energy expertise
The investment forms part of Christeyns’ long-term strategy to help industrial customers reduce resource consumption and improve process efficiency. In 2024 Christeyns expanded its engineering expertise by acquiring TBR Solutions, a specialist in energy management, efficiency and recovery. Combined with Veride's water-treatment capabilities, Christeyns says it can now support customers across both water and energy to reduce consumption, recover resources and limit wastewater discharge while maintaining operational performance.
