IPR, founded in 2014, is headquartered in Johannesburg and has 18 employees. The company provides fully outsourced dewatering solutions through rental of pump and ancillary equipment. Main customers are found in mining, quarrying, construction and wastewater.

In 2023 IPR had revenues of 5 MEUR (57 MSEK*). The purchase price is not disclosed, and the acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2024.
