Vortex Companies has acquired Municipal & Contractors Sealing Products, expanding its geotechnical and trenchless water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation capabilities. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Cincinnati-based MCSP specializes in rehabilitation of pipelines, manholes, culverts, tunnels and other water and wastewater infrastructure.
Founded in 2000 by Bob O’Connor, the company has more than 25 years of experience serving municipal and utility customers across multiple U.S. states.
MCSP’s capabilities include geopolymer and cementitious spray lining, protective coatings, chemical grout injection and manhole rehabilitation.
Vortex plans to use the acquisition to strengthen its geotechnical services platform and expand its presence across the Midwest.
The combination also gives MCSP access to Vortex’s broader infrastructure rehabilitation platform and additional resources for scaling its operations.
KEY QUOTES:
“MCSP has earned its reputation by safely and cost-effectively rehabilitating municipal storm water and sanitary sewer systems for more than two decades. The combination of technical capability, field experience and customer trust is difficult to replicate. Bringing MCSP into Vortex gives us a stronger foundation in the Midwest and more ways to solve complex problems for the customers we serve.”
Mike Vellano, Chief Executive Officer of Vortex Companies
“What we’ve built at MCSP comes from years of learning the work—understanding the materials, refining the methods and knowing what it takes to perform in the field. Joining Vortex allows us to build on that experience and bring more solutions to the infrastructure challenges our customers are facing.”
Drew O’Connor, Chief Executive Officer of MCSP
“The opportunity isn’t simply to make the organization larger; it’s to make both teams better. MCSP brings experience and operating knowledge that can strengthen Vortex, just as our broader platform can help MCSP scale. The value comes from putting those strengths to work across the business.”
Ram Vela, Chief Strategy Officer of Vortex Companies
