Opus Water

Opus Water, Inc. is a Minneapolis, Minnesota-area platform company backed by XPV Water Partners that acquires and grows businesses focused on engineered products for water, wastewater, and industrial process fluids. The company's strategy centers on providing capital and operational resources to drive growth in acquired brands, targeting both private companies and corporate carve-outs. In December 2025, Opus Water acquired Yeary Controls of Chicago, Illinois, marking its initial expansion into flow control solutions. Yeary Controls, established in 1965 as a manufacturer's representative and distributor before developing its own valve products starting in 2001, offers the Sharktooth control valve engineered for superior cavitation and noise performance relative to conventional butterfly valves, and the SharkFin butterfly control valve, which has gained traction in the pulp and paper industry. Additional Yeary products include the Variable Area Diffuser, Triple Offset Butterfly Valve, and Diffuser Plate, all available in sizes from one-half to 48 inches. Yeary's sizing software is validated by independent flow tests conducted at Utah State University. Opus Water's brand promises emphasize engineering innovative and reliable products, on-time delivery, and customer experience. The company actively seeks additional acquisition targets and can be reached via corporate development at corpdev@opuswaterinc.com. Specific product manufacturing by Opus Water itself is not detailed on their website.
