Three leaders of the Canadian water infrastructure industry have joined forces in new brand COREAQUA to continue driving innovation.
The three brands – FER-Pal Infrastructure, Nidener and AquaPipe – are all equipped with niches in the market that, when combined with each other, will create a strong brand capable of many solutions.
FER-PAL Infrastructure, based in Toronto, Ontario, specialises in trenchless watermain rehabilitation and has completed more than 5000 miles of potable water pipeline renewal across North America using trenchless methods that minimise community disruption, environmental impact, and long-term costs for municipalities.
Niedner, based in Québec, manufactures high-performance lay-flat hoses used in water transfer, firefighting, and industrial applications. The company has been in operation for more than 130 years and developed AquaPipe, the first and most widely adopted potable water cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) solution proven to significantly extend the lifespan of a pipe.
Niedner’s products have been tested and verified by leading institutions such as Cornell University, University of Colorado Boulder, Louisiana Tech University and Monash University.
COREAQUA’s formation is intended to align technical knowledge, field experience, and manufacturing capabilities in the Canadian water industry under one brand.
This means the companies will continue operating in their respective areas of specialisation while collaborating to support long-term infrastructure resilience and operational efficiency for municipal and utility clients.
Speaking for the first time as COREAQUA president, Patrick Maginn said the brand is representing the collective strength and shared purpose of the three brands.
“Each organisation brings a long history of technical excellence and commitment to water infrastructure,” he said. “Together, we’re positioned to continue providing the most reliable and efficient solutions to municipalities and utilities across North America.”
