Ohio-based company to exclusively represent Hydro`s wastewater and wet-weather products in portions of the Midwest

PORTLAND, Maine - Hydro Intl., a provider of environmentally sustainable products and innovative solutions that control and treat storm water, wastewater and combined sewer overflows, has announced that The Henry P. Thompson Co., Milford, Ohio, will be the exclusive representative of its wastewater and wet-weather management products for sections of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

Founded in 1910, The Henry P. Thompson Co. is the Midwest's oldest manufacturer's representative of engineered lowest-total-cost and least-risk systems for the conveyance, treatment and disposal of water, wastewater and their residuals. The company will represent Hydro products throughout the state of Indiana, excluding Porter and Lake counties; the state of Kentucky, excluding Crittenden, Caldwell and Trigg counties; and southern Ohio.

Since the early 1970s, The Henry P.

Thompson Co. had provided the Eutek brand grit equipment to a number of municipal wastewater and water treatment plants in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.

The Henry P. Thompson Co. will now market the full range of municipal grit management solutions provided by Hydro's wastewater business based in Hillsboro, Ore.

"We are thrilled to be working with The Henry P. Thompson Co.," said Steve Tansley, director of operations for Hydro's U.S. wastewater business. "Through the continuation of this partnership, we are certain Hydro Intl.'s wastewater business will continue to establish itself as the leading supplier of municipal grit management solutions in these states."
