PRESS RELEASE
3 October 2013
Conder is Expanding!
Packaged sewage treatment specialist, Conder Environmental Solutions, is expanding its
operations with a new subsidiary in Ireland in partnership with Premier Tech and EPS Bison.
Conder provides water and wastewater pumping, storage, separation and treatment
solutions to both the UK and export markets, backed by over 40 years of experience and
expertise in these products and markets. The company has a well-regarded and recognised
brand coupled with extensive experience in GRP manufacture from Europe's largest
automated GRP production facility based at Peterlee. In 2008, EPS Group acquired from
Conder Environmental Solutions Ltd. certain of its assets and liabilities and formed Conder
Solutions Limited.
EPS Group has been operating in the packaged treatment market within Ireland directly
since 1995. The Bison division was formed as a consequence in 2000 to service the needs of
the Irish market. Bison is involved in the design, manufacture, distribution and
commissioning of a variety of packaged treatment solutions in the Republic of Ireland and
distributes products that are outsourced manufactured in Ireland for wastewater treatment
6-25 PE and the remaining full Conder range of products.
Conder is now joining forces with EPS Bison and have agreed a joint venture partnership
with Premier Tech. Headquartered in Canada, Premier Tech is an active player in three key
industrial sectors: Environmental Technologies, Industrial Equipment and Horticulture and
Agriculture. The partnership will involve the introduction of rotomould manufacturing
technology as well as a new range of innovative and European-tested wastewater treatment
technologies as well as storage, rain water harvesting and other rotomould tank products.
The two market leading brands of Conder and Bison strengthened by the EPS brand,
reputation and expertise provide Premier Tech with immediate significant presence and
market share from which to introduce new and innovative market leading technologies,
while the partnership aligns both Conder and Bison with one of the leaders in rotomould

manufacturing and decentralised wastewater treatment technologies worldwide. The new
joint venture company will from now on operate under Conder Aqua Solutions.
Stuart Wray, Managing Director at Conder Aqua Solutions says: “Premier Tech is an
innovator and international leader in the field of decentralised waste water technology, as
well as rotomoulding product design and manufacturing. Our strategic partnership will
enable Conder to harness Premier Tech’s expertise in new technology to complement our
established processes to provide a market leading product range with proven quality,
performance and reliability. We share the same ambition to be the best in our industry”.
“Our partnership with Premier Tech will create a market leading player whereby the strength
of both organisations in innovation, manufacturing and distribution can be fully maximised
through Conder and Bison” adds Patrick Buckley, Deputy Managing Director at EPS Group.
Henri Ouellet, President of Premier Tech’s Environmental Technology Group comments:
“Premier Tech is proud to join forces with EPS and Conder Solutions to form Conder Aqua
Solutions in order to deploy the Conder and Bison brands as well as some of Premier Tech
brands and technologies in Ireland and UK and in the countries where Conder is exporting.
Premier Tech will bring exclusive technologies, products and know-how to Conder Aqua
Solutions, which will contribute in accelerating its development as a leader in its field”.
