Water Tech Company Aganova Announces Growth Equity Investment From Emerald and Cimbria
Nov 17, 2022
Aganova, a Spanish water technology company specializing in leak-detection and condition assessment of water infrastructure pipeline with a focus on critical "transmission mains," is pleased to announce it has received a growth equity investment from Emerald Technology Ventures and Cimbria Capital. Aganova's core technology is the Nautilus System — a wireless, in-line, and neutral buoyant technology that helps water utilities optimize leak detection, network inspection, and leak prevention in large diameter pipelines. Aganova's new investments partners — Emerald and Cimbria — are internationally known specialist investors in the water industry.
Emerald and Cimbria are both well-positioned to support the overall growth of Aganova and its international expansion given the firms' significant networks and expertise in water. As part of these collaborative efforts, Helge Daebel, Emerald Partner, and Brian V. Iversen, Cimbria Managing Partner, will both join the Aganova Board of Directors.
"We are thrilled to welcome Emerald and Cimbria as partners in Aganova given their documented achievements in helping scale water technology companies in global water infrastructure markets," said Agustín Ramírez García, CEO of Aganova. "It's an opportune time in infrastructure to further deploy Aganova's innovation to help reduce Non-Revenue Water loss and help save costs in maintenance and upgrades to water distribution pipelines."
"Emerald sees great promise in Aganova's Nautilus System becoming a standard technological solution for leak detection in large diameter networks for municipalities in need of streamlined, reliable, and affordable innovation," said Helge Daebel, Partner at Emerald Technology Ventures. "Due to the age of much of our existing infrastructure and years of underfunding, Aganova's technology will be critical in helping ensure the functioning of essential water assets and services."
"Cimbria is pleased to join the Aganova team and apply our knowledge of value-add capabilities in transatlantic market expansion and strategic management via our Acceleration Program," said Brian V. Iversen, founder and Managing Partner of Cimbria Capital. "For Aganova, we believe this work will be especially meaningful in their renewed commercial effort to acquire new customers in North American markets, augment their business team, and increase corporate visibility."
