Hydro Intl., a provider of storm water, wastewater and combined sewer overflow solutions, has announced an agreement with Thompson Culvert Co., Hazelwood, Mo., to distribute Hydro storm water control products.
Thompson, a full-service distributor of heavy-duty steel drainage components, water control devices and a range of associated products, will act as the licensed distributor of Hydro storm water flow control and treatment solutions in Missouri, Illinois, northern Arkansas, western Kentucky, western Tennessee, northeast Oklahoma and southeast Kansas.
The agreement marks the first time in Hydro Intl.'s 25-year history that the company has had direct sales or distribution coverage in the territory. Hydro received a business boost earlier this month in the region when the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District approved the use of Hydro's Up-Flo Filter as a best management practice for redevelopment and highway project sites in the district's 92 municipalities, including the city of St. Louis.
"In recent years, communities have devoted more resources to removing polluants from their storm water flows, and they're seeing the benefits in the form of improved water quality," said David Mongeau, general manager for Hydro's U.S. Storm Water Division. "We see a strong business opportunity providing high quality storm water treatment and flow-control solutions in the Midwest and the South. Thompson Culvert has established a strong reputation, and we look forward to working with the staff to best serve the residents of this region."
