Contech Engineered Solutions Acquires Assets of Filterra Bioretention Systems


WEST CHESTER, Ohio – West Chester-based Contech Engineered Solutions announced today that it has acquired the assets of Filterra Bioretention Systems from Americast, Inc.



The purchase includes the Filterra product line and all related intellectual property. The Filterra system is an advanced stormwater treatment technology that utilizes enhanced bioretention for the removal of pollutants from stormwater. This innovative technology is often used in urban environments and in areas that have embraced Low Impact Development (LID) and Green Infrastructure. The system removes Total Suspended Solids (TSS), nutrients, hydrocarbons, and metals while improving aesthetics. Filterra has been third party field tested and has earned numerous state and local regulatory approvals throughout the U.S.



The Filterra product line joins Contech's other stormwater management solutions including StormFilter®, Jellyfish Filter®, CDS®, Vortechs®, UrbanGreen™ Rainwater Harvesting, as well as a variety of detention and infiltration solutions. With the addition of Filterra, Contech has enhanced its position as the leading stormwater solution provider throughout the U.S.

"The addition of the Filterra technology to our portfolio allows Contech to continue to provide stormwater solutions for virtually every site, which brings value to our customers."
