"In terms of international expansion, the United States are the number one strategic market for us," commented APATEQ CEO Bogdan Serban. "Whether in attracting new customers or offering support to our existing clientele, our goal is to provide users of our systems with a cost-effective, best-value solution and to offer a fast response service. To achieve this we need to be as close as possible to the market. So setting up a subsidiary in the United States was an undeniable mileston, also in view of our ambitious growth targets".
Engineering and manufacturing of the APATEQ systems for the US market is conducted in Europe at the company's Luxembourg headquarters. The first plant for the US market has been shipped recently with the function of treating produced water for a water service provider to the oil and gas industry.
