Natural Systems Utilities News

Natural Systems Utilities is proud to have joined the SAUR / Nijhuis Saur Industries family.

January 16, 2024/in News, Press Release

Hillsborough, NJ – Natural Systems Utilities announced today that the Saur Group (“Saur”), a leading service provider in the global water and wastewater sector has acquired Natural Systems Utilities (“NSU”) through Nijhuis Saur Industries (“NSI”). Together with Saur, NSU will be able to drive further growth and innovation, and create additional value for its employees, customers, and stakeholders.
As cities face an increasing urban population, decentralized water reuse emerges as a crucial stride toward ensuring access to water and sanitation. In a growing market driven by the need for water quality, this acquisition represents an opportunity to facilitate the evolution of water consumption from a finite resource to a sustainable one.

The combination of NSI and NSU, both prominent players in the water sector, will accelerate the introduction of new technologies and innovative approaches to the commercial and residential buildings markets in the Americas and Europe. This acquisition leverages the strengths of two industry leaders with highly complementary expertise, fostering new synergies that are ideally positioned to support the commercial and residential buildings markets.

The company will continue to be led by Zach Gallagher, President & COO of NSU and Bill Massa, CEO of NSU.
The completion of the acquisition has been approved by the relevant regulatory authorities and the integration of NSU into Industrial Water Solutions division of Saur Group has successfully kicked-off.

About Saur:

As a pure-play water and essential services provider, Saur works to protect the environment in the heart of the territories it serves. Saur has always acted to offer the same quality of service to small towns as to large cities, guided by its purpose: to restore to water the value it deserves. Saur operates globally. 2022 key figures: €1.9 billion Group net revenue, 9,500 local authorities and industrial clients contracted, 12,000 employees and 20 million consumers served worldwide.

Giving water the value, it deserves is our key focus and the acquisition of NSU will further advance our companies in our important work to pioneer solutions to tackle global water challenges. This acquisition will allow us to enrich our technological base in water reuse and decentralized water solutions, thereby strengthening our value proposition to a now broadened shared customer base in both residential and commercial buildings. It marks an important milestone in our water transition journey to a genuinely circular economy.” Patrick Blethon, Executive Chairman of Saur

The transaction will take place through Nijhuis Saur Industries (NSI), the Industrial Water arm of Saur, formed after the acquisition of Netherlands-based Nijhuis Industries in 2020.  The agreement is expected to close in January 2024, subject to regulatory approvals.

NSU Celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness

October 26, 2023/in News

Natural Systems Utilities is a proud supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Today Natural Systems Utilities employees wore pink shirts to recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to support those who have been diagnosed with, are battling, or are recovering from the disease.

MORE THAN AWARENESS
For the 31 days of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), pink ribbons appear as the impact of breast cancer is brought to the forefront of national conversation.

But we know that to help those facing breast cancer, awareness alone isn’t enough. This October, get involved. Get screened. Make a donation. Take action. Make this BCAM about more than awareness.

The pink ribbon has become the universal symbol of breast cancer, illustrating the cause, raising awareness and bringing together women in solidarity. From a simple piece of ribbon affixed with a pin, we are able to show our support for loved ones battling breast cancer and our hope for a brighter future.
