Calpeda joins Wateralia

Ambienta, one of Europe’s largest asset managers focused on environmental sustainability, has announced that Calpeda, a global manufacturer of pumps, motors and systems for the integrated water cycle, is joining its platform company Wateralia. With the industrial integration between Calpeda and Caprari, whose acquisition was completed in 2021, Wateralia aims to become one of the largest independent European players in the electric pumps and pumping systems industry.

Founded in 1959, Calpeda has a broad product portfolio, mainly focusing on centrifugal pumps, multistage pumps, submersible and borehole lines, as well as self-priming and peripheral pumps. With two Italian production sites, 14 international subsidiaries and almost 500 employees, Calpeda is a global water pumps and systems brand selling its products in more than 100 countries.

The company, with its strong commitment to research and development, has a leading role in promoting a sustainable growth of the water industry. Through this synergic acquisition, Wateralia will further expand its product range and commercial reach and operate in a large global market, estimated to be worth over €21 billion. With an integrated business model and almost 1,000 employees, Wateralia will count 24 international subsidiaries with a direct presence in 19 countries, a comprehensive product range of around 7,000 SKUs and almost 10,000 customers in various sectors, among water infrastructure, industry, agriculture, domestic and residential, and building services.
