DXP Enterprises, Inc. finalized its acquisition of Colorado‑based Ambiente H2O Inc. on February 1, 2026, using cash from its balance sheet. The deal adds a high‑margin, service‑oriented business that sells pumps, process equipment, and instrumentation to the water and wastewater industry.
Ambiente reported $8.1 million in sales for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025, and operates three locations across Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. The company’s focus on service and repair complements DXP’s existing product portfolio and provides a recurring revenue stream that is less sensitive to commodity cycles.
The acquisition is part of DXP’s broader strategy to shift from the cyclical oil‑and‑gas sector toward stable, higher‑margin water and wastewater markets. DXP’s overall operations generated nearly $2 billion in revenue last year, and its current ratio of 2.77 indicates strong liquidity to support further acquisitions. Recent purchases of Pump Solutions and Mid Atlantic Storage Systems have already begun to build a full‑line water platform, and Ambiente’s geographic footprint in the Western United States expands DXP’s reach into key growth markets.
By adding Ambiente, DXP strengthens its technical sales expertise and gains a foothold in regions with significant regulatory investment and aging infrastructure. The company’s competitors in the Western U.S. include several regional pump and equipment suppliers, but Ambiente’s service‑centric model differentiates it and positions DXP to capture additional market share in a sector that benefits from long‑term capital projects.
David Little, Chairman and CEO of DXP, said, “Ambiente adds another great company to our water and wastewater platform.” Kent Yee, CFO, added, “We welcome the talented and hardworking Ambiente employees to the DXP team. The addition of Ambiente furthers our mission to build DXP Water into a full‑line product and service‑focused platform.”
While specific integration plans and synergies have not been disclosed, DXP expects the transaction to be positive for its customers, employees, and shareholders, and it signals the company’s continued confidence in the long‑term growth of the water and wastewater industry.
