Rochester Midland Corporation has acquired Solid Blend for an undisclosed amount. Solid Blend specializes in safeguarding water systems for hospitals and healthcare facilities, focusing on protecting patient health and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Solid Blend provides critical water safety risk management, particularly for Legionella, to private, VA, and military hospitals. The company ensures compliance with regulations such as VA Directive 1061, ASHRAE 188, and AAMI ST108, while also maintaining efficient HVAC and plumbing systems. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Solid Blend designs customized water management programs, offers expert water treatment services, and conducts risk assessments and testing to protect vulnerable patients and staff. Its certifications include ASSE 12080 and OEPA approvals for Legionella consulting and contract operations.
This acquisition is a strategic move for Rochester Midland Corporation, significantly expanding its capabilities and market presence within the highly specialized healthcare water safety sector. Solid Blend's deep expertise in Legionella risk management, regulatory compliance, and its established relationships with healthcare providers, including government facilities, will complement Rochester Midland's existing operations. The integration is expected to create synergies by combining Solid Blend's specialized service offerings and SDVOSB status with Rochester Midland's broader resources, enhancing the combined entity's ability to deliver comprehensive water management solutions.
The combined organization is poised to offer an even more robust suite of services, ensuring safe, compliant, and sustainable water systems for a wider array of healthcare clients. This move underscores a commitment to addressing critical water safety challenges and supporting the operational integrity of essential healthcare infrastructure.
