Kentucky-based private equity firm MiddleGround Capital recently purchased Gap, Pa.-based Dutchland LLC, a company that engineers, manufactures, and constructs circular, rectangular and elliptical precast post-tensioned concrete tanks.
Dutchland becomes part of Lindsay Precast – Renewables, a company designing and manufacturing engineered precast concrete structures for electric vehicle charging, the government, solar, transportation, utility, and water/wastewater end use markets.
The combined company will operate nine manufacturing facilities nationwide with a total of more than 10 million square feet of production and storage capacity. The combined company also will allow for fast delivery and optimized production efficiencies.
Dutchland specializes in custom designed wastewater treatment plants and other specialized concrete products for the water and wastewater industry. It has designed and built more than 1,000 gas/electric and liquid treatment facilities.
In the 1990s, Dutchland built its first waste-to-energy anaerobic digester.
The company produces products in a weather-controlled environment while pouring the base slab or foundation in the field. This process allows the company to reduce onsite schedule time drastically.
“Offering expanded manufacturing services based on market data, allows Dutchland to reduce shipping cost, service more communities, and find standardized solutions that result in lower CAPEX (capital expenditure),” Micah Boyer, Dutchland head of RNG project sales, said.
