Sciens Water Acquires Roberts Filter Group

Sciens Water acquired Roberts Filter Group on November 9, 2026, establishing a water filtration platform for municipal and industrial customers. Roberts Filter Group provides engineered filtration and pretreatment solutions for municipal and industrial water treatment applications. The acquisition expands Sciens Water’s presence in water treatment. Matt Roberts will continue as Roberts Filter Group’s CEO.

Filtration Platform Expansion

The partnership will provide Roberts Filter Group with additional resources to support organic growth and expand its products and services. The company supports new installations and upgrades to existing systems, helping municipal and industrial customers extend asset life and maintain reliable treatment performance.

John Rigas, Chairman and CEO at Sciens Water, said:

“Investment in water infrastructure must address both new treatment capacity and the systems communities and businesses already depend on. RFG has the engineering knowledge and service capabilities to support both. We look forward to working with Matt Roberts and his team to build on that foundation and help customers maintain reliable treatment over the life of their infrastructure.”

Continuing Customer Service

Roberts Filter Group has operated as a family business for more than a century. Aging treatment facilities and changing water quality requirements create demand for filtration and rehabilitation services.

Matt Roberts, CEO at Roberts Filter Group, said:

“After more than a century as a family business, we chose a partner that focuses only on water and shares our long-term view. I'm proud to continue leading this team, and I'm excited about what we can build together. For our customers, nothing changes: the same people, the same commitments, and more resources behind them,”
