Voith acquires Vortex Hydro

18 February 2013


Founded in 2001, Vortex Hydro offers auxiliary mechanical systems, specialized hydropower products, and expert consulting services. The company will retain its name and remain at its current location in Granby.

"We are very excited about the addition of Vortex Hydro into the larger Voith family," said Voith Hydro Inc. (Canada) President and CEO Denys Turcotte. "Vortex Hydro will bring its exemplary auxiliary mechanical systems, specialized hydropower products, and expert consulting services to the product lines and services that Voith already offers in Canada and the U.S. Vortex Hydro will complement our existing After Market Business in Canada and the U.S., and expand Voith's products to new and future customers."

Vortex Hydro will add to Voith's growing presence in the After Market Business sector in Canada and the US. Vortex Hydro offers balance-of-plant solutions for hydropower applications. In addition to engineering consulting services, the company offers specialized products in the Actuator valve series AC signal, Converter module model CS-1, and Tangential overspeed detector.

“I am pleased to announce Vortex Hydro's new status as an operating unit within Voith," said Vortex Hydro founder and President Richard Evoy, who will retain his position. "We will continue to offer reliable and competitive products coupled with unmatched service, but our network and reach will be much larger. By fully integrating Vortex Hydro into Voith, we will benefit from Voith's global reach and 140 years of experience in the hydropower sector."
