To co-opt and butcher a popular saying: Consolidators gonna consolidate.
That continued to be the case at the end of 2025, as a number of aggressively growing companies across industry segments continued consolidating despite the market slowing down from the sales pace that originally spurred the trend.
Some acquisition highlights from the end of 2025:
Azureon: The pool care platform currently concentrating on the Northeast expanded its New York footprint by partnering with Precision Pools & Spas, based in Fairport. The
19-year-old company provides residential pool installation, renovation, and maintenance throughout upstate New York. This makes 11 locations in five states for Azureon, which formed in 2024 with the merger of five prominent Northeastern companies and the backing of private equity firm O2 Investment Partners.
Terms were not disclosed, but Precision will maintain significant ownership in Azureon, the company said. Precision President Dave Cox will remain on board.
“Dave Cox is a talented operator, and we look forward to partnering with him and the Precision team as we continue expanding our footprint and coverage throughout New York and the Frostbelt,” said Azureon CEO John Tisera.
Easton Select Group: The three-year old service and construction consolidator, based in Easton, Mass., made two acquisitions at the transition from 2025 to 2026. Entering the Connecticut market, the Easton acquired Blue Wave Pool Service and Supplies. The 42-year-old company will continue operating under its brand, with its current. In addition to carrying
Easton into a new market, company management expects the acquisition to increase its commercial capabilities.
“Blue Wave brings deep experience operating in regulated environments, allowing us to better serve both residential customers and commercial clients with complex pool needs in one of the most concentrated and demanding markets in the Northeast,” said Tim Dooling, CEO of Easton Select Group.
Boosting its presence in the Boston market, the company acquired Harrison Pool & Spa, which serves the suburban MetroWest region of Boston. The staff will remain in place, as will former owner Camden Harrison, who serves as president of Harrison Pool & Spa.
With this latest round of acquisitions, the company stands at 11 brands.
Heritage Pool Supply Group: The national distributor expanded into South Florida with the acquisition of Miami-based MT Pool Distributors. The company, with six locations throughout the lower Sunshine State, will remain headed by its previous owners, Cesar and Adriana Lozada.
Heritage also opened a new location in Savannah, Ga. With these changes, the five-year-old distributor now holds 160 locations across 36 states.
