Comments: Oil, oil everywhere…but water, still we drink. Okay, with apologizes to Samuel Coleridge, that’s been the recent strategy at Ecolab, which is making a big play in oil recovery and water management, while remaining the leader in the global I&I market. The strategy’s working, too, as corporate sales rose 12% last year and net income increased 38%. The emphasis on energy was apparent with 2013 acquisitions of Champion Technologies and Masters Chemicals. Ecolab went on to leverage its Antimicrobial know-how from its food and beverage unit to treat unconventional wastewater in an environmentally responsible manner. Institutional sales increased 2%, as lodging posted modest gains and foodservice foot traffic was soft. On a regional basis, Latin America posed double-digit gains, North America sales were up solidly and sales in Asia Pacific rose, as well. The only weakness was in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Ecolab’s pest elimination sales improved 5%, led by gains in food and beverage, healthcare and foodservice.
For the first quarter 2014, sales increased 16% to $3.3 billion. Global industrial sales 3% to $1.1 billion. Institutional sales increased 3% to $993 million.
