SUEZ- now Veolia North America

About

It was once United Water then Suez and now it’s Veolia.

Veolia North America, which is based in Boston has announced that a merger between Suez and Veolia has been completed. The merger combines Veolia North America with Suez’s assets in the United States and Canada. The new water and wastewater treatment company has 10,000 employees.

Officials said that the merger will not result in any immediate changes for customers.

“This important milestone marks a new era in the delivery of the ecological transformation solutions to millions of people in communities across the United States and Canada who rely on our services,” Veolia North America president and CEO Frédéric Van Heems said in a news release. “The combination of the strengths and resources of the two companies will bring innovation, investments and skills to enhance the delivery of essential services in water, wastewater, waste management and energy — services that keep our vital infrastructure functioning and thriving.”

Veolia North America is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Veolia Group based in Paris, France. Veolia has offices throughout the world including a location in York.

Suez acquired United Water in 2000 but didn’t rebrand until 2015.
