Him and Piedmont's Sales Manager Leo Tua Parra are working extremely well together in that region, and we are delighted with their recent and foreseeable achievements”, stated Frédéric Dugré, President and Chief Executive Officer of H2O Innovation. “The new distributors that have been added to the network were carefully chosen because of their privileged position in their local market and their enthusiasm to represent the Piedmont brand that now is becoming increasingly recognized for their impressive portfolio of references which includes many of the largest desalination plants in the world. This enthusiasm materialized in immediate multiple container orders of our filtration products for local stock and supply. We are excited to see this acceleration of our business”, added Alejandro Sturniolo, Global Head of Water Reuse and Strategic Partnerships of H2O Innovation.
