The Workdry Group, a global leader in mobile and modular engineered rental solutions for water and wastewater handling, has officially announced the acquisition of DMTP, a premier French pumping and dewatering specialist. This strategic move significantly strengthens the group’s presence in mainland Europe, cementing its position in one of the region’s most dynamic infrastructure and environmental services markets.
A Powerful Addition to a Global Portfolio
The acquisition seamlessly integrates DMTP into The Workdry Group’s expanding international portfolio, which already includes industry heavyweights like Selwood and Siltbuster in the UK, Holland Pump in the US, and Vanderkamp and Workdry Germany across mainland Europe.
Founded in 2006, DMTP has built a formidable reputation serving France’s public sector, infrastructure, and construction industries. Operating from four strategic locations in Paris, Angers, Lyon, and Marseille, the company provides comprehensive pumping and dewatering solutions, specialist equipment rental, and top-tier technical and aftersales support.
A Natural Progression of a Trusted Partnership
This acquisition is far from a cold corporate takeover; it is the natural evolution of a long-standing, highly successful partnership. For years, DMTP has served as a trusted partner and the exclusive provider of Selwood pumps in the French market.
By bringing DMTP fully into the fold, The Workdry Group is combining DMTP’s deep-rooted local market expertise and established customer relationships with its own world-class capabilities in engineered water and wastewater solutions. This synergy is designed to deliver unmatched support to customers not only in France but across neighbouring European markets.
Leadership Perspectives on the Strategic Move
Dan Lee, Group CEO of The Workdry Group, highlighted the strategic importance of the French market and the seamless cultural fit of the two organizations:
“France is an important market for The Workdry Group, and we’re proud to be expanding our reach in Europe as part of our growth strategy, which reflects our confidence in the future of both the UK and European markets. DMTP has been a trusted partner and exclusive provider of Selwood pumps for many years, making this a natural next step in our relationship. The business has built a strong reputation for technical expertise, customer service, and operational excellence, and shares our commitment to delivering outstanding outcomes for customers. Together, we’ll continue to grow and deliver for our customers.”
Nicolas Protais, European Managing Director, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the operational strengths DMTP brings to the table:
“DMTP has a strong team, solid growth, and a trusted position in the French market. This is a natural step for us to grow in Europe together – aligning our knowledge and expertise to better support customers across Europe.”
Looking Ahead
As Europe continues to invest heavily in resilient infrastructure, flood mitigation, and sustainable water management, the demand for reliable, high-capacity dewatering and pumping solutions is only going to grow.
By uniting DMTP’s localized agility with The Workdry Group’s global resources and technological prowess, the newly expanded European division is perfectly positioned to set a new standard for operational excellence, customer service, and innovation in the fluid handling sector.
