DRAGIN Geothermal Well Drilling Inc. has acquired the assets of Hartley Industries, a 40-year old Meredith, N.H., water well drilling firm.

DRAGIN Geothermal Well Drilling Inc., with offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, has acquired the assets of Hartley Industries, a Meredith, N.H., water well drilling firm. The 40-year old Hartley Industries will become part of the DRAGIN family, which operates DRAGIN Drilling and DRAGIN Geothermal Well Drilling. The new owners have purchased the equipment and office located in Meredith.

The Meredith location will continue to serve the region with residential water well drilling, but will add a new and fast-growing service – geothermal well drilling. The owners, D.J. and Carrie (Collins) Quagliaroli have run the businesses out of headquarters in Wareham, Mass., since 1996.

D.J. Quagliaroli says, “In the last year, we have seen the increased need for geothermal, and know that its benefits are significant, particularly in these times of rising energy costs. We will continue to build upon the good work and good reputation established by Hartley Industries, and are pleased that we will now be able to offer the expanded services of our two companies.”
