The Workdry Group, a UK-based provider of mission-critical water solutions, has completed the acquisition of French pumping and dewatering specialist DMTP, extending its presence into the French market.
The deal adds DMTP to a portfolio that already includes Selwood and Siltbuster in the UK, Holland Pump in the United States, and Vanderkamp and Workdry in Germany.
Founded in 2006, DMTP serves customers in France's public sector, infrastructure and construction industries from four locations: Paris, Angers, Lyon and Marseille. The company provides pumping and dewatering solutions, specialist equipment rental, technical support and after-sales services. DMTP has also long been an exclusive provider of Selwood pumps in France.

According to Workdry, the acquisition combines DMTP's local market expertise and customer relationships with the Group's mobile and modular engineered rental solutions for water and wastewater handling and treatment. DMTP is expected to continue operating with its existing customer-focused approach while gaining access to the Group's broader scale and resources.
Dan Lee, Group CEO of The Workdry Group, described France as an important market for the company and said the acquisition reflects confidence in the future of both the UK and continental European markets, building on DMTP's long-standing relationship with Selwood.
Nicolas Protais, European Managing Director, said DMTP's team, growth and market position make it a natural fit for the Group's expansion in Europe.
The transaction is backed by Arcus Infrastructure Partners. Jordan Cott, Partner at Arcus, said the acquisition strengthens Workdry's position in a key European market and supports the Group's long-term growth strategy, citing DMTP's reputation, customer relationships and technical expertise.
The move comes as France continues long-term investment across its water, transport, energy and industrial sectors, which Workdry views as a significant growth opportunity.
