GES Expands National Water Infrastructure Platform with ECC Asset Acquisition

Global Environmental Solutions, LLC (GES) has completed the asset acquisition of Environmental Controls Company, LLC (ECC), effective January 25, 2026, broadening its capabilities across land and water infrastructure markets. 

The transaction expands GES’s national reach and product portfolio by adding ECC’s modular floating cover technologies, which serve stormwater systems, reservoirs, water and wastewater treatment facilities, mining operations, airports and industrial storage applications. 

“This acquisition establishes GES as a national platform serving both land and water infrastructure with well-engineered, long-life environmental solutions,” said Rocco Petrilli, Chief Revenue Officer of GES. “The transaction also increases our revenue base and positions GES for significant growth in 2026 and beyond.” 

GES confirmed it will continue supporting all existing ECC customers without interruption as integration moves forward. 

As part of the expansion, Manchester, New Hampshire-based GES will rebrand its enhanced water infrastructure product suite under the EnviroBalls name. The platform will support applications including evaporation mitigation, odor control, shade ball systems and aviation bird management.
