Sigura (Solenis)

Parent / umbrella company

Sigura is the pool & spa chemical business now operating as the Pool Solutions division of Solenis, a global specialty water-treatment company owned by private-equity firm Platinum Equity. The business traces to Lonza's Water Care unit, which Platinum Equity carved out in 2019 (~$630M) and rebranded Innovative Water Care, then Sigura; in November 2021 Platinum Equity acquired Solenis (~$5.25B) and merged Sigura into it. Its consumer portfolio includes HTH, GLB (with the Aqua Silk chlorine-free line), Leisure Time spa chemicals, Applied Biochemists algaecides, Pool Breeze, Poolife, and Baquacil.
