APATEQ announces the opening of its first subsidiary in the United States. The company, which is situated in Spring / TX, in the north of Houston, will focus on promoting and offering one-stop solutions and support services for the innovative treatment of fracking flowback and produced water directly to the US market. The new subsidiary will be responsible for all go-to-market activities around APATEQ solutions in North America and will act as a hub for all North American cooperation partners of APATEQ.

“In terms of international expansion, the United States are the number one strategic market for us”, said APATEQ CEO Bogdan Serban. ”Whether in attracting new customers or offering support to our existing clientele, our goal is to provide users of our systems with a cost-effective, best-value solution and to offer a fast response service. To achieve this we need to be as close as possible to the market. So setting up a subsidiary in the United States was an undeniable milestone, also in view of our ambitious growth targets.”

Engineering and manufacturing of the APATEQ systems for the North American market takes place in Europe at the company’s headquarters in Luxembourg according to highest quality standards. The first plant for the US market has been shipped recently and it will treat produced water for a water service provider to the oil and gas industry.
