Arborjet has acquired a majority interest in Ocala, Fla.-based Ecologel Solutions.

Ecologel is a developer and manufacturer of products for water conservation, dust mitigation, plant nutrition, pond and lake management and antifungal coatings.

“We are proud to partner with the Arborjet team,” said Rick Irwin, president of Ecologel Solutions. “Through our history with Arborjet, we’ve observed a number of parallels in our business strategy, philosophies and markets. Arborjet brings strong sales, marketing, research and management teams to support Ecologel and our exceptional product line. We are excited to work with Arborjet and look forward to expanding the promotion of our products domestically while further developing international markets for both Ecologel’s and Arborjet’s unique technologies.”

Ecologel’s products—such as Hydretain, GelTrak, BioPro, CytoGro, Aqua-T and FungiShield—will continue to be available through its existing distribution partners with additional support from the Arborjet team.

“Ecologel’s products broaden and strengthen Arborjet’s existing catalog of unique offerings that provide environmentally responsible solutions to serious issues,” said Russ Davis, president and COO of Arborjet. “We are eager to explore how Ecologel and Arborjet technologies can benefit each other, and we are particularly excited to expand Hydretain’s reach into to the horticultural and agricultural industries to reduce water usage around the world.”
