Companyia d'Aigües de Sabadell

Companyia d'Aigües de Sabadell (Cassa) is a Spanish company that specializes in the distribution and treatment of water.

History

Companyia d'Aigües de Sabadell was founded in 1949.[1]

In September 1989, a group of shareholders launched a petition requesting the resignation of José Casas, President of Cassa, and Jordi Buxeda, the company's secretary.[2]

In 1999, its revenue grew by 18%.[3] In 2000, Aigües de Sabadell extended its services to 10 new Spanish municipalities.[1] In 2005, the company financed the exhibition Som Aigua. La nova cultura de l'aigua presented at the Maritime Museum of Barcelona.[4]

In 2010, the Grupo Agbar, which already owned 11,3% of Cassa, led an OPA on the Companyia d'Aigües de Sabadell, but the board replied that Sabadell's shareholders will not accept to sell.[5] One of the board members Manuel Bustos, is also the mayor of Sabadell.[6] In July 2013, the Grupo Agbar completed the acquisition of 78% of Aigües de Sabadell for 24 million euros.[7]

In July 2013, the company announced the launch of a SMS alert system to warn its clients of any interruption of service.[8]
