Hauppauge, NY, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- – Advanced Industrial Services (AIS), a subsidiary of Cemtrex Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX, CETXP), has been awarded a $1.84 million contract by the City of Lancaster to upgrade critical infrastructure at its Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (AWWTP). This win adds to AIS’s growing track record of delivering high-impact projects across the municipal and industrial sectors.
Under Contract No. 2023-33-01, titled Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant South Primary Clarifier Upgrades Project, AIS will replace process mechanical and electrical systems, rehabilitate clarifier structures, and modernize control systems for four primary clarifiers in the South Train of the City’s AWWTP. The project is scheduled to be completed within one year of commencement during the City’s 2025–2026 fiscal year.
“This new contract is another strong win for AIS,” said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. “We’re continuing to execute in core markets by doing what we do best: tackling complex, high-stakes projects with precision and reliability. Our momentum in public infrastructure is building, and we’re excited to continue growing in these markets.”
AIS has steadily expanded its footprint across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic by earning the trust of municipalities and industrial operators alike. This latest award reinforces AIS’s positioning as a go-to partner for infrastructure modernization, particularly in the waste water treatment market.
Across the U.S., aging wastewater infrastructure is under growing strain. Many treatment plants were built decades ago and now operate with outdated systems that fall short of modern standards. The EPA’s latest Clean Watersheds Needs Survey estimates $630 billion in required upgrades over the next 20 years, a 73% increase since 2012. With major federal and state funding now flowing into the sector, municipalities are accelerating investments, and experienced contractors like AIS are well-positioned to lead this wave of critical infrastructure renewal.
