Strategic investment positions United Flow Technologies for expanded role in water infrastructure market
United Flow Technologies (UFT) has secured a strategic growth investment from Berkshire Partners, strengthening its position as a leading distributor and solutions provider for municipal and industrial water and wastewater systems across the U.S.
UFT, headquartered in Irving, Texas, supplies process equipment, pumps, flow control systems, and automation solutions through a nationwide network of technical specialists. The company said the new partnership will accelerate its expansion, enhance service capabilities, and support long-term infrastructure needs as water systems age and regulatory demands increase.
UFT CEO Matt Hart and the current leadership team will continue to guide the company and remain significant investors. H.I.G. Capital, which established the UFT platform in 2021, will retain a minority stake.
Executives from both firms emphasized that the investment will help UFT scale its platform, deepen manufacturer partnerships, and support communities working to maintain safe and reliable water infrastructure. Berkshire Partners Managing Directors Larry Hamelsky and Candice Corvetti said UFT’s technical expertise and essential role in U.S. water quality made the company a strong fit for the firm’s long-term infrastructure investment strategy.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
