Hybrid ceramic-polymeric platform targets industry’s toughest filtration & separation demands while driving down lifetime costs across essential global markets.
PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- True North Venture Partners proudly announces the merger of its portfolio companies Nanostone Water and Solecta into Acuriant Technologies, Inc., forming a leading advanced membrane solutions company engineered to solve the toughest separation and filtration challenges in dairy, food-and-beverage, life sciences, and municipal and industrial water worldwide.
Acuriant integrates Solecta’s precision tuned polymeric MF/UF/NF/RO membranes with Nanostone’s robust ceramic platform, each solution strengthened by the company’s application-centric process-engineering expertise. The merger creates one of the industry’s broadest advanced membrane portfolios, giving customers a single point of accountability for all water filtration and process separation requirements, maximizing value and eliminating vendor complexity. This holistic approach delivers step-change gains in yield, capacity, robustness, and efficiency, along with measurable sustainability benefits, particularly where conventional technologies underperform and mitigation options are cost-prohibitive.
Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, Acuriant employs more than 250 people across 10 countries and operates manufacturing centers in Oceanside, California, and Halberstadt, Germany. Working alongside a global network of expert partners, the company now offers five distinct membrane technology platforms engineered for some of the most essential and high-value verticals.
