Completion of Foundational Acquisition: CPR Inc. and Fleaux Solutions

MCF has significantly advanced its strategic plan by acquiring CPR Inc. and Fleaux Solutions (the “Acquisition”) in the water and wastewater sector. The Acquisition positions MCF to form partnerships with leading rehabilitation prime contracting firms, leverage emerging technologies, and establish a North American network of professional services firms. Additionally, MCF will focus on research and development to enhance processes for lining, repairing, and rehabilitating wastewater systems, as well as improve materials used in these processes. CPR Inc. and Fleaux Solutions have a rapidly growing multi-year backlog, with clients and partners across the U.S. and municipalities in Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana.

"We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of CPR Inc. and Fleaux Solutions, which marks a significant milestone in MCF's strategic growth plan.
