A Timeline 1998 to
Present
To remain the market leader, Katadyn took significant measures to build a
stronger, better organization:
In 1998, Katadyn was purchased by its employees. With renewed focus and
enthusiasm, the new team began to increase Katadyn’s market position
worldwide.
In early 2001, Katadyn acquired Exstream, the best-selling brand of water
bottle purifiers. This provided Katadyn with EPA registered purifiers and a
strong position in the rapidly growing bottle category.
In June 2001, Katadyn acquired all products, distribution, brands and
manufacturing rights of the Peter Gelzhäuser GmbH, Jena. The purchased
product lines are well established brands in the camping and caravan market
with products for water disinfection and vehicle maintenance. In July 2001,
Katadyn purchased PUR Outdoor and Marine products. This bold movement
strengthened Katadyn’s market position worldwide. As the best selling U.S.
brand, PUR products have strong consumer support and proven retail
sell-through. Throughout 2001, Katadyn opened new subsidiaries in North
America, France, Germany and Singapore. Katadyn enters 2003 as the most
complete supplier of outdoor water systems.
