In 2018, the company acquired, AUC Group, one of the industry’s leading wastewater treatment corporations, to further expand its offering. Seven Seas became one of the fastest-growing privately-owned companies in the water industry and has continued to expand year after year.

In 2007, the company built one of the strongest teams of professionals in the water industry, quickly attracting investors. In 1996, Seven Seas Water Group was established in the United States Virgin Islands with a mission of providing water management services to clients in the fresh water-scarce Caribbean. Seven Seas is 100% owned by Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and serves as their portfolio platform for investments in water and wastewater treatment companies. In 2018, Seven Seas acquired Houston-based AUC Group, a leading provider of decentralized water and wastewater treatment plants throughout the U.S., with over 1,500 installations since 1970. In addition to building new plants, the company is actively acquiring existing water and wastewater treatment plant operations.
