Water.org and Founding Partners Launch Get Blue™ to Bring Water Home™ Through Everyday ActionsJune 9, 2026 9:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Join Get Blue™, co-founded by Water.org's Matt Damon and Gary White, and partners Gap Inc., Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to shop, share, and donate to help end the global water crisis.Get Blue™ is partnering with iconic brands like Gap, Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to turn everyday actions into a powerful force to Bring Water Home™ and help end the global water crisis.Water.org aims to bring safe water access to more than 200 million people by 2030 through its proven solution that helps local bank partners provide small loans to families.Get Blue makes it simple for anyone to participate through shopping for exclusive Get Blue product collaborations; engaging with creators, celebrities, and artists; and donating directly to Get Blue.KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Water.org, the global nonprofit working to bring safe water and sanitation to the world, is launching Get Blue™, a community created in partnership with Gap Inc., Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to help Bring Water Home™. Get Blue is an open invitation to turn everyday actions like shopping, sharing, and donating into safe water for families who need it most.Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/waterorg/9402051-en-waterorg-partnership-launch-get-blue-global-movementMore than 2 billion people lack access to safe water — that's one in four people globally. For many families, water is out of reach resulting in hours of walking, high costs, or relying on unsafe sources — a daily reality that costs people their time, health, and futures. No one should have to wait, walk, or overpay for safe water. Get Blue is a collective effort to change this, helping scale Water.org's proven solutions to reach more people.Get Blue makes it easy to act. When you shop Get Blue products or donate directly, you are helping support Water.org's local financial partners provide small, affordable loans so families can get the pipes, pumps, or plumbing they need at home. $5 helps one person, and $25 helps a family get lasting access to safe water or sanitation — it's impact that keeps on giving. In fact, when a loan is repaid (and 98% are), that money can help another family get a loan to bring safe water home. It's a pay-it-forward approach that helps families solve the problem themselves, and the more people Water.org reaches, the further each dollar goes."Water.org has changed the future for more than 90 million people, proving our solutions work at scale," says Gary White, CEO and co-founder of Water.org. "To bring water home for everyone, everywhere within our lifetimes, we have to scale even faster. That's why Water.org launched Get Blue — a community built on collaboration, bringing together industry leaders, creators, and people to take action. When brands join us, they invite their communities into this work. That is how progress happens — one person, one action at a time."Get Blue is brought to life through its founding partners who have created products and experiences that make it simple for people to participate. Upcoming launches include:Gap: The Get Blue Drop
Gap's limited-edition Get Blue Collection reimagines classic Gap icons like denim, tees, and sweats to help end the global water crisis.

Through its partnership with Water.org and investment in WaterEquity — the impact-investing asset manager established by Water.org to mobilize capital for water and sanitation solutions — Starbucks has helped more than 700,000 people gain access to safe water or sanitation.For more details visit here.Amazon: Shop, Stream, Support

Producer Aaron Bow also collaborated with Walton on the creative effort."Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That's what Get Blue is built on," says Damon. "I won't stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. Now, through the Get Blue community, there are easy ways to get involved whether you shop, donate directly, or share on social. I'm inviting my friends, colleagues, and anyone who cares about water access to join us and help Bring Water Home."Mobilizing Creators and the TikTok Community to Join #GetBlue

Ecolab Life Sciences erweitert seine weltweiten Kapazitäten im Bereich Bioprozesstechnik mit einem neuen Zentrum für fortgeschrittene Entwicklung und Anwendungen in KoreaApril 30, 2026 12:05 PM
Business Wire
Die neue Niederlassung bringt den Kunden in Asien fundiertes Fachwissen näher und stärkt das globale Netzwerk von Ecolab


Aufbauend auf dem anhaltenden Wachstum und der starken Leistung seines Life-Sciences-Geschäfts baut Ecolab seine globalen Kompetenzen im Bereich der Bioverarbeitung weiter aus, um biopharmazeutische Hersteller weltweit zu unterstützen. Ecolab Life Sciences gab heute die Eröffnung eines neuen Bioprocessing Applications Lab (BPAL) in Dongtan, Korea, bekannt – seiner ersten biotechnischen Anlage in Asien. Das neue Zentrum stärkt die weltweite Präsenz des Unternehmens im Bereich Life Sciences weiter und unterstützt Kunden, die auf einem der weltweit fortschrittlichsten Märkte für die biopharmazeutische Produktion tätig sind.


BPAL Korea unterstützt das gesamte Spektrum der Prozessentwicklungsaktivitäten, von Tests in der Frühphase bis hin zu Studien, die die Produktion im industriellen Maßstab nachbilden, und stützt sich dabei auf das etablierte Netzwerk von Ecolab für biotechnische Anwendungen in den USA und Großbritannien. Die Einrichtung ermöglicht eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit den Fachleuten für biologische Verfahren von Ecolab, um Kunden dabei zu unterstützen, ihre Reinigungsverfahren zu optimieren, die Kosten- und Prozesseffizienz zu steigern und ihre Programme bis zur Marktreife voranzutreiben.


Korea hat sich zu einem globalen Zentrum für die Herstellung von Biopharmazeutika entwickelt, insbesondere von Biosimilars, die weltweit den Zugang zu fortschrittlichen Therapien verbessern. In diesem von starkem Wettbewerb geprägten Umfeld müssen Hersteller Schnelligkeit, technische Präzision und die Einhaltung globaler Standards gewährleisten. Da nun Experten für Bioverarbeitung vor Ort tätig sind, können Kunden ihre Entwicklung effizienter vorantreiben, indem sie den Materialtransfer ins Ausland vermeiden und gleichzeitig die Konsistenz und Kosteneffizienz ihrer weltweiten Aktivitäten aufrechterhalten.


„Biopharmazeutische Hersteller in ganz Asien stehen unter zunehmendem Druck, schnell zu expandieren und gleichzeitig strenge regulatorische und leistungsbezogene Anforderungen zu erfüllen“, sagte Jenny Tan, Vizepräsidentin und Geschäftsführerin von Ecolab Life Sciences für den asiatisch-pazifischen Raum und Indien. „BPAL Korea stärkt unsere Fähigkeit, eng mit unseren Kunden zusammenzuarbeiten, indem es fundiertes lokales Fachwissen mit dem globalen, integrierten Netzwerk von Ecolab im Bereich der biologischen Verfahrenstechnik verbindet.“


BPAL Korea ist das jüngste Beispiel für das langfristige Engagement von Ecolab Life Sciences in der Life-Sciences-Branche und baut auf den kontinuierlichen Innovationen im gesamten Bioprozess-Portfolio des Unternehmens auf, einschließlich seiner Affinitätsharz-Technologien. Durch den Ausbau seines weltweiten Netzwerks von Entwicklungs- und Anwendungszentren unterstützt Ecolab Life Sciences seine Kunden dabei, ihr Wachstum voranzutreiben und fortschrittliche Therapien weltweit schnell, zuverlässig und sicher zu skalieren.


Wenn Sie mehr über die Kompetenzen von Ecolab Life Sciences bei der Entwicklung der Biotechnologie erfahren möchten und darüber, wie BPAL Korea skalierbare, behördlich zugelassene Aufreinigungsprozesse unterstützt, besuchen Sie hier die Website von Ecolab zu den Purolite™-Harzen.

Ecolab Life Sciences renforce ses capacités mondiales en bioprocédés grâce à un nouveau pôle de développement et d'applications ultra-moderne, en CoréeApril 30, 2026 12:04 PM
Business Wire
Ce nouveau site offre une expertise approfondie aux clients asiatiques et renforce le réseau mondial d'Ecolab


S’appuyant sur la croissance continue et les solides performances de son secteur en sciences de la vie, Ecolab élargit encore ses capacités mondiales en matière de bioprocédés afin d'accompagner les fabricants biopharmaceutiques du monde entier. Ecolab Life Sciences a annoncé aujourd'hui l'ouverture d'un nouveau laboratoire d'applications de bioprocédés (BPAL) à Dongtan, en Corée, inaugurant ainsi son premier site de bioprocédés en Asie. Ce nouveau pôle renforce la présence mondiale de l'entreprise dans le domaine des sciences de la vie et accompagne ses clients opérant sur l'un des marchés de fabrication biopharmaceutique les plus avancés au monde.


Le laboratoire BPAL Korea prend en charge l'ensemble des activités de développement de procédés, depuis les essais préliminaires jusqu'aux études reproduisant la production à grande échelle, en s'appuyant sur le réseau d'applications de bioprocédés d'Ecolab bien implanté aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni. Ce laboratoire permet une collaboration directe avec les experts en bioprocédés d'Ecolab afin d'aider les clients à optimiser leurs procédés de purification, à améliorer leur rentabilité et leur efficacité, et à faire progresser leurs programmes vers la commercialisation.


La Corée s'est imposée comme un pôle mondial de production biopharmaceutique, notamment pour les biosimilaires qui élargissent l'accès aux thérapies innovantes à l'échelle internationale.

Ecolab to Acquire CoolIT Systems, a Global Leader in Advanced Liquid Cooling for Next-Gen AI Data CentersMarch 20, 2026 8:00 AM
Business Wire
Acquisition accelerates Ecolab’s sales growth by significantly expanding its Global High-Tech growth engine, creating an end-to-end fluid management and cooling platform for AI data centers


Ecolab announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CoolIT Systems, a high-growth, high-margin leader in liquid cooling technology for next-gen AI data centers. CoolIT is expected to generate approximately $550 million in sales over the next 12 months. With CoolIT’s rapid sales growth, the acquisition is expected to significantly strengthen the company’s Global High-Tech growth engine and accelerate Global Water’s organic sales growth rate by 2% and Ecolab’s total organic sales growth rate by 1%. The acquisition, from funds managed by KKR, positions Ecolab as a comprehensive cooling solutions provider by advancing its capabilities across the rapidly growing data center market.


CoolIT is a pure-play data center liquid cooling company with end-to-end capabilities that designs and manufactures high-performance liquid cooling systems, including coolant distribution units (CDUs), cold plates and direct-to-chip cooling technologies. With more than 25 years of experience, their technology helps the world’s largest hyperscale and colocation operators run more efficiently and reliably. As data centers shift from air cooling to liquid cooling to support rising compute demands, CoolIT’s mission-critical technologies provide the performance needed for advanced AI workloads.


By combining CoolIT’s anchor thermal engineering technologies and design excellence with Ecolab’s expertise in water, chemistry, fluid management, digital monitoring and global service, Ecolab is bolstering its Cooling-as-a-Service offering. This integrated solution helps AI data centers improve performance, reduce downtime and lower water use across their operations.


Under the terms of the agreement, Ecolab will pay approximately $4.75 billion in cash at the closing of the transaction, subject to customary adjustments. This represents 29x and 24x estimated next 12-month and 2027 adjusted EBITDA for CoolIT.


“AI is transforming the demands on data centers, and liquid cooling is one of the critical technologies that makes advanced computing possible,” said Christophe Beck, Ecolab chairman and chief executive officer. “By bringing together CoolIT’s engineered cooling technologies with Ecolab’s expertise in water, chemistry and digital service, we can provide our customers a complete cooling solution that improves performance and reliability while reducing water and energy use. This acquisition expands our role in serving the AI ecosystem—semiconductor fabs that manufacture chips, power plants that fuel the chips, and data centers that utilize the chips—and positions Ecolab as the partner that the world’s largest technology companies rely on to grow responsibly and sustainably.”


Strategic Highlights


CoolIT is a high-growth, high-margin global leader in advanced liquid cooling technologies with 100% focus on the data center market. The acquisition enables Ecolab to rapidly accelerate its recurring, high-margin data center cooling business, by adding mission-critical anchor technologies including CDUs, cold plates, liquid loops and rack manifolds, with substantial cross-selling opportunities.


CoolIT will double Ecolab’s Global High-Tech market opportunity from $5 billion to $10 billion, with this market growing strong double-digits annually. The combination complements Ecolab’s existing reach across more than 1,000 data centers by providing deep preexisting relationships with the world’s major hyperscaler and colocation customers, with strong revenue growth visibility from large-scale data center deployments. CoolIT also contributes advanced engineering, design and validation capabilities, highlighted by custom-designed solutions for leading AI chip developers, including NVIDIA and AMD, along with manufacturing and supply chain expertise to support rapid scaling.


Financial Highlights


The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Ecolab’s sales growth, accelerating Global Water’s organic sales growth rate by 2% and Ecolab’s organic sales growth rate by 1%, beginning one year after closing. Excluding non-cash amortization costs, the transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted diluted earnings per share in 2028, with the contribution building significantly thereafter. Returns are expected to be significantly above Ecolab’s weighted average cost of capital.


The acquisition will be financed with new transaction debt. As a result, pro forma net debt to adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be approximately 3x at transaction close, returning to 2x leverage by the end of the second year after closing.


The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.


2026 EPS Outlook


Ecolab expects first quarter 2026 adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $1.69 to $1.71 range, rising 13% to 14% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.50 a year ago.


For the full-year 2026, excluding the impact of CoolIT, Ecolab continues to expect adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $8.43 to $8.63 range, rising 12% to 15% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $7.53 in 2025.


Ecolab will release its first quarter 2026 results on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.


Webcast Details


Ecolab will host a live webcast to review the CoolIT acquisition announcement on Monday, March 23, 2026, at 8 a.m. Eastern time. The webcast, along with related presentation slides, will be available to the public on Ecolab’s website at www.ecolab.com/investor.


Citi acted as exclusive financial advisor to Ecolab in connection with the transaction and Covington & Burling LLP acted as legal counsel.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information


This news release contains certain statements relating to future events and our intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “we believe,” “we expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast” (including the negative or variations thereof) or similar terminology used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding market trends, the future performance of CoolIT, impacts of the acquisition of CoolIT, the expected timing of completion of the acquisition, amortization expense, returns, sales growth, adjusted diluted earnings per share and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. These statements are based on the current expectations of management of the company. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this news release. These risks and uncertainties include (i) the risk that the regulatory approvals or clearances required for the acquisition may not be obtained, or that required regulatory approvals may delay the acquisition or result in the imposition of conditions that could have a material adverse effect on either party or cause either party to abandon the acquisition, (ii) the risk that the conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be satisfied, (iii) the risk that a material adverse change, event or occurrence may affect Ecolab or CoolIT prior to the closing of the acquisition and may delay the acquisition or cause the company to abandon the acquisition, (iv) problems that may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the company and CoolIT, which may result in the combined business not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected, (v) the possibility that the acquisition may involve unexpected costs, unexpected liabilities or unexpected delays, (vi) the risk that the credit ratings of Ecolab may be different from what Ecolab currently expects, (vii) the risk that the businesses of Ecolab or CoolIT may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the acquisition, (viii) unexpected operating risks at CoolIT and (ix) the risk that disruptions from the transaction will harm relationships with customers, employees and suppliers.


Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the company, CoolIT and the combined business. For a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to Ecolab, see Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K, and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this news release may not occur. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Ecolab does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations, except as required by law.


Non-GAAP Financial Information


This news release includes financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), including organic sales, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.


Our non-GAAP financial measures for organic sales are at fixed currency and exclude the results of our acquired businesses from the first 12 months post acquisition and the results of divested businesses from the 12 months prior to divestiture. Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items. We include items within special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items that we believe can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results. EBITDA is defined as net income including non-controlling interest with the sum of provision for income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization added back. Adjusted EBITDA further adds special (gains) and charges impacting EBITDA. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used in our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, which we view as important indicators of the operational and financial health of our organization.


These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend that investors view these measures in conjunction with the GAAP measures included in this news release.


We do not provide reconciliations for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis (including those contained in this news release) when we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact reported earnings per share and the reported net income, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures to adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Sales increased 5% year over year, with organic sales up 3%, driven primarily by stronger performance in Food & Beverage, Pest Elimination, Life Sciences, Specialty, and Global High-Tech.The company said these gains helped offset a combined 2% headwind from softer conditions in basic industries, paper, and reduced distributor inventories within its Institutional segment.Operating income margin came in at 17.0%, while organic operating income margin expanded by 140 basis points to 18.5%. Reported diluted EPS was $1.98, representing a 19% increase, and adjusted diluted EPS rose 15% from the prior year.Looking ahead to 2026, Ecolab expects adjusted EPS in a range of $8.43 to $8.63, compared with the analyst consensus of $8.48. The forecast includes an approximate $0.13 per-share impact from non-cash amortization related to the Ovivo Electronics acquisition. For the first quarter, the company anticipates adjusted EPS of $1.67 to $1.73, reflecting growth of 11% to 15%.Chief Executive Christophe Beck said Ecolab delivered record sales, margins, and cash flow in 2025, with performance fueled by organic sales growth and margin expansion.He added that inventory pressures in the Institutional segment are expected to largely normalize in the first quarter of 2026, while weakness in basic industries and paper should ease over the coming quarters.For the full year, Ecolab projects reported sales growth of 7% to 9% in 2026, with organic sales rising 3% to 4% and operating income margin expanding by 100 to 150 basis points.

Ecolab’s Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer, one of the innovative solutions powering the new Ecolab Science Certified™ program, simplifies restaurant hygiene procedures by combining an effective cleaner and sanitizer into one solution without the need to rinse between cleaning and sanitizing or before contact with food. When used in an electrostatic spray application at a disinfection concentration, it can disinfect large indoor spaces efficiently and effectively.

Developed using insights from proprietary Ecolab consumer research and informed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Ecolab Science Certified is a comprehensive, science-based program that combines hospital disinfectants, food-contact sanitizers and other cleaning products with a detailed training program and a periodic auditing process conducted by highly trained Ecolab field specialists. After meeting rigorous program criteria, customers can display the Ecolab Science Certified seal to let consumers know about their commitment to world-class hygiene.

Ecolab has one of the broadest product portfolios for use against SARS-CoV-2. Including the Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer, Ecolab offers 12 products tested and proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 and registered by the EPA.

Ecolab offers the product for use in spray bottle, bucket, wipe, third sink or electrostatic spray applications. It is one of only three electrostatic spray products proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 – and no product kills the virus faster in electrostatic spray application.

Fair Value Source

still a great company and I wished I had bought when I first saw it at around 50 Dollar :)

Ecolab (ECL -2.9%) is downgraded to Hold from Buy with a $125 price target at Deutsche Bank, which says that upside is limited in the near-term with ECL trading at 27x estimated 2015 EPS and shares are at a 60% premium to the S&P, in-line with its three- and five-year average relative P/Es.

While the firm sees ECL delivering on its Q3 and 2015 EPS targets, it also believes consensus 2016 EPS estimate of $5.16 is too high given continuing forex headwinds and moderating global growth.
