Investment Announcement

Stanley Capital Partners (SCP) and Goldman Sachs Alternatives have announced a majority investment in SePRO Corporation, a leader in sustainable water quality solutions. The financial details remain undisclosed.

SePRO’s Mission and Growth

Founded in 1994, SePRO, based in Carmel, Indiana, focuses on protecting, preserving, and restoring nature through innovative solutions. The company serves diverse sectors including drinking water reservoirs, industrial water consumers, and agriculture.

“SePRO’s mission of using innovation to create environmentally responsible solutions to protect and preserve surface water bodies is incredibly powerful,” said Patrick Hargutt, Founding Partner at Stanley Capital Partners.

SePRO has consistently outpaced the broader water management market due to its strong customer engagement and product innovation. Future growth is expected from investments in water quality solutions driven by stringent environmental regulations.

“Investing in protecting our global water resources is core to SCP’s Resource Efficiency strategy,” stated James Brooks, Founding Partner at Stanley Capital.

Strategic Partnership and Digital Transformation

The partnership with SCP and Goldman Sachs will accelerate SePRO’s ability to offer cutting-edge technologies and support to customers. SCP’s digital development team will collaborate with SePRO’s leadership to drive this transformation.

“We look forward to supporting Tyler Koschnick and SePRO’s impressive leadership team in driving this exciting new chapter of growth,” added Patrick Hargutt.
