(Solution Group release) — Solution Group, a full-service, technology-enabled water management company, recently announced a strategic investment from private equity firm 424 Capital. This partnership marks a major milestone in Solution Group’s growth, positioning the company to lead the industry in tech-driven water solutions while enhancing water quality and accessibility for the communities and clients it serves across industries such as food and beverage, agriculture, and more.
Combining technical expertise with a highly skilled workforce allows Solution Group to tackle some of the most complex water and wastewater challenges facing the nation. With the support of 424 Capital, the company can better address critical issues such as water scarcity, declining water quality, and the nation’s aging infrastructure.
“Our team wanted to be a part of the influence Solution Group has on communities and their water resources,” said Kyle Stanbro, a Partner at 424 Capital who led the investment in Solution Group. “As water scarcity intensifies, particularly in the Western U.S. due to overuse and drought, Solution Group is expertly positioned to address critical investments in water conservation, quality, and delivering cleaner water nationwide.”
Solution Group’s tailored, technology-driven approach to operational and regulatory challenges is unique within the industry and grounded in its commitment to protecting public health. An example of its innovation is proprietary systems like Opticlear, a software that delivers real-time, transparent water quality monitoring across multiple sites. By aggregating facility data into a centralized dashboard, Opticlear provides instant insights into system performance and health, regardless of location.
“This strategic investment allows us to enhance our stewardship of water resources on behalf of our clients – ensuring facilities run efficiently, water remains clean, and people and environments are safe,” said Solution Group Executive Vice President and Co-Founder Chris Pierce. “We strive to build genuine, long-term relationships with every company we serve, becoming a trusted extension of their team while delivering cost-effective improvements and solutions.”
Solution Group goes beyond delivering technical solutions by becoming an integrated part of its clients’ day-to-day operations. Through on-site support and embedded staff, the team develops a deep understanding of each facility’s system to help optimize performance and implement meaningful improvements. At its largest facility, 1.4 million gallons of wastewater are processed daily, serving roughly 12,700 households.
“Safety, compliance, and cost-effectiveness have always been core to our mission, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to bring these values to more companies and communities,” said John Brenan, President and Co-Founder of Solution Group. “With the support and investment from 424 Capital, we’re confident in our ability to expand our impact and create more opportunities for our employees, who are our greatest asset.”
Moving forward, Solution Group remains committed to improving both water quality and availability to the communities and the clients it serves. This aligns with the company’s mission to be an indispensable partner to manufacturers, municipalities, communities, and the environment – serving as a trusted steward of clean water and water reuse to strengthen infrastructure and deliver cleaner, healthier water for all.
