Greg Aluce, president of Layne's Water Resources Division, states: “The purchase of Beylik is a very important strategic move for our Water Resources Division. The California market provides over one-third of Layne's water division earnings and is one of the largest water markets in the world. We have long considered Beylik, with its talented group of dedicated professionals, to be Layne's most formidable competitor in the deep production well drilling business and are extremely excited about the opportunities of this combination.”
