BLTI enhances the company's national SCADA footprint and local presence in Houston, Texas

KATY, Texas, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inframark, LLC, an industry leader in the operations, maintenance, and management of water and wastewater facilities and other outsourced services, is delighted to announce that it has acquired BLTI, a leading provider of comprehensive integration solutions for instrumentation and control systems for municipal, commercial, and institutional clients. BLTI specializes in large-scale supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems as well as control panels, fire alarms, and security systems. The acquisition closed on March 31, 2022. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

"We are proud and excited to add an organization like BLTI to the Inframark family and look forward to the continued involvement of the entire team that has driven the success of the Company," said Jim Irwin, Inframark Vice President of Corporate Development.

It will leverage support from Inframark for investment to further enable BLTI and the combined SCADA division to provide state-of-the-art automation and cybersecurity solutions to fit any type of facility within the water and wastewater industry.

"We were looking for a partner to help us expand our SCADA capabilities and we found it with BLTI," Mr. Hopkins said.
