John Brooks Company acquires ASL Roteq

John Brooks Company of Mississauga, ON, experts in pumps, spray nozzles, filtration, valves, and engineered systems, has acquired ASL Roteq Ltd. based in Brampton, ON. ASL Roteq was founded in 2003 by Jeff Johnson and is focused on providing end-to-end pump repairs, service, training and helping customers solve their pumping requirements.

“This acquisition will create value for our customers through our increased pump repair, field service, preventative & predictive maintenance, pump training, installation and startup,” according to Gord Bell, president of John Brooks.

“Many of our customers are continually seeking larger profit margins and are driven to maximize return on their net assets. As a result, they are often focused on maintaining, rebuilding and repairing equipment they already have on hand.

“With the acquisition of ASL Roteq, John Brooks significantly expands its resources of expert service technicians, millwrights and machinists that are available to serve our pump customers in the Ontario region.”

Johnson has been involved with the Water Environment Association of Ontario (WEAO) for several years and currently chairs the Operator’s Challenge Committee and is the Pump Maintenance, Event Coordinator. He has authored several pump maintenance articles published in the WEAO Influents magazine aimed at highlighting and solving common pumping problems. Johnson is also an MOE Director Approved trainer for his Understanding Pumping Systems training course.

ASL Roteq’s entire team, including Johnson, will be integrated into the John Brooks pump team.
