StormTrap acquires Faircloth Skimmer
StormTrap announced on July 8, 2025, the acquisition of Faircloth Skimmer. This strategic acquisition enhances the company’s product offerings and reinforces its commitment to providing comprehensive, sustainable solutions for stormwater management.
Founded in 2000, Faircloth Skimmer has built a strong reputation for its innovative floating skimmer technology, which helps improve water quality by removing sediment-laden water from construction sites and stormwater basins. The company’s products are recognized for their reliability, regulatory compliance, and ease of installation, and have been used in thousands of construction projects across the United States.
“We are thrilled to welcome Faircloth Skimmer to the StormTrap family,” said Nate Olds, CEO of StormTrap, in a press release. “Their cutting-edge products are a natural complement to our existing solutions, and this acquisition allows us to offer a more complete suite of stormwater management tools to our customers. Together, we will continue to lead the industry in innovation, quality, and environmental stewardship in every part of the country.”
The acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term growth strategy and strengthens its ability to deliver flexible, cost-effective solutions that span a broader range of the project lifecycle and meet the evolving needs of engineers, contractors, and municipalities in managing and treating stormwater. Faircloth Skimmer will maintain its brand in the marketplace in partnership with StormTrap, together upholding the high standards of service and product excellence that customers have long associated with both companies.
“We are excited to join forces with StormTrap,” said Michael Brewer, president & CEO of Faircloth Skimmer, in a press release. “This partnership will allow us to scale our impact, reach new markets, and continue developing products that support sustainable construction and water management practices.”
Michael Brewer and the Faircloth team will continue in their current roles as Faircloth becomes a subsidiary and affiliate of StormTrap. StormTrap is a flagship company in the PSP Capital Partners portfolio.
