Strategic Fit
Centre Partners has already demonstrated its buy-and-build playbook through UnitedLandServices — a platform that completed four strategic acquisitions in 2025 alone. That same model applied to water treatment would position AquaScience as the Wyoming anchor for a Mountain West water services roll-up: recurring revenue, essential-service nature, fragmented competitive landscape, and operational improvement opportunity.
Centre Partners' stated investment criteria match AquaScience precisely: experienced management, organic and acquisitive growth potential, market leadership in a niche segment, and sustainable competitive advantages. Water treatment in Wyoming qualifies on all counts — it's a niche service with regulatory defensibility, community entrenchment, and limited competition from institutional players.
The industrial services and residential/commercial services experience in Centre's portfolio gives them operational frameworks applicable to water treatment. The recurring revenue model, service territory density logic, and fragmented competitive landscape Centre navigates in other sectors translate directly to water treatment management. They know how to buy, integrate, and grow this type of business.
Approach Strategy
Call Opener: "Centre has shown real conviction in the outsourced essential-services model through UnitedLandServices — we're running a process on a Wyoming water treatment company that fits the same platform logic: recurring revenue, essential service, fragmented market, clear add-on runway. Wanted to get this in front of your team before we broaden outreach."
