Vortex Cos. of Houston has acquired Salt Lake City’s Stag Technologies, a high-performance coatings manufacturer for the water, sewer and industrial infrastructure markets.
“Stag’s management team of Scott Peterson, Matt Peterson and Brock Stone have built a reputation for developing high-performance epoxies and other coatings that we believe are unmatched in our industry,” said Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex. “A lot of our work involves the application of corrosion-resistant products. Stag’s coatings and linings complement our systems.”
“We think it’s a perfect fit,” said Matt Peterson, president of Stag Technologies. “Our ability to custom manufacturer and test a coating to meet very specific project requirements has always been an advantage for us. After successfully partnering with Vortex on several projects, the acquisition made sense. Collectively, I believe we will fill a void in the infrastructure rehabilitation market.”
Founded in 2015, Stag offers a full line of products to handle water, wastewater and industrial infrastructure rehabilitation, as well as specialty materials for commercial flooring and walls. Stag’s in-house formulators have decades of experience in developing environmentally friendly epoxies and urethanes.
Vortex is one of the fastest-growing solution providers in the water, sewer and industrial marketplace. Its list of services includes turnkey bypass, structural relining, structural and corrosion protection materials, pipe bursting, trenchless robotic systems and pipe and drain cleaning tools.
