MITA partners with Nexom to bring globally-renowned cloth disk filter to North America

Nexom will be the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of MITA Water Technologies’ pile cloth disk filters in North America. MITA has more than 25 years’ experience building disk filters, with more than 600 installations worldwide. Nexom will build MITA cloth disk filters in the United States, to be fully compliant with Build America/Buy America (BABA) requirements.

MITA Water Technologies (MITA) of Siziano, Italy and Nexom of Winnipeg, Canada have signed an agreement whereby Nexom, an Axius Water company, will be the exclusive North American manufacturer and distributor of MITA’s cloth disk filters for water and wastewater filtration.

MITA has been supported by BE Partner as financial advisor and Studio Biscozzi Nobili Piazza as legal advisor.

Since the Italian production of cloth disk filters launched 25 years ago, more than 600 of the filters have been installed at treatment facilities worldwide. Because the technology is easily scalable, it has been installed at both small and large treatment plants, including multiple very large facilities that treat flows between 75 and 150 million gallons per day (MGD).

“MITA and Nexom are aligned in our strong focus on solving the growing challenges associated with water reuse, nutrient removal, energy efficiency, space constraints and sustainability at municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities,” says Nexom CEO Martin Hildebrand. Adds MITA CEO Alessandro Fontana, “This strategic relationship further emphasizes the sharing of know-how in new applications for cloth filters and continued development of the products, enabling our two companies to strengthen our positions for continued growth and ability to deliver critical solutions to our customers.”
