SUEZ Expands Capabilities and Expertise in Concrete Restoration Services with the Acquisition of Indiana-Based Odle, Inc.

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SUEZ North America today announced that it has completed the acquisition
of Odle, Inc., an Indiana-based, full-service painting and coatings
contractor specializing in large commercial, municipal and industrial
projects.

“The acquisition of Odle expands our capabilities and reinforces our
service offering at a time when there is a large market need for
concrete rehabilitation and maintenance services,” says Eric Gernath,
CEO of SUEZ North America. “Odle represents a good fit for SUEZ, since
we share the same culture of safety, dependability and a focus on
providing excellent service to our customers.”

Founded in 1918, Odle, Inc. has significant experience in five areas of
expertise including restoration of water and wastewater facilities,
protection of concrete floors, tank and secondary containment
coatings/linings, maintenance of industrial facilities and architectural
painting and wallcovering. Odle is a certified applicator for most
high-performance coatings manufacturers and their team of experts have
completed several large projects throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Over the years, SUEZ has developed comprehensive and sustainable
solutions intended to restore concrete structures to like-new condition
and then coat them with high-performance coatings to provide long-term
protection and extend their service life. The company’s approach
involves thorough condition assessments, repair specifications and the
execution of custom-designed rehabilitations in accordance with all
federal regulations.

Most recently, SUEZ secured several large concrete projects including
the rehabilitation of clarifiers at Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission’s
Newark, NJ-based wastewater plant, the rehabilitation of the Neuse River
Resource Recovery Facility for the City of Raleigh, NC, and the
comprehensive restoration of chlorine contact channels at the Southeast
Water Pollution Control Plant for the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission.
