I am excited to be working with Pat and the Michels’ team as we advance our growth plan. Most importantly, our stakeholders will benefit from this transaction, including shareholders, employees, suppliers, and especially, our customers. Aqueos looks forward to the opportunity to continue to bring exceptional service, on a larger scale, as part of the Michels family of companies.”
