High Pure Filtration Systems: Mergers & Acquisitions
We were unable to find any mergers & acquisitions information for High Pure Filtration Systems, as there is no preexisting or publicly available data. However, we provided some useful insights into the companies activities, including the information provided on its terms & conditions page which stated that all of its website content were the property of Calig LLC, DBA Highpurewater.com. Other helpful findings are outlined in the brief below.
We have also provided the research strategies used in searching for the requested information and concluding that it is not publicly available, below.
RESEARCH STRATEGY
In looking for the mergers & acquisitions of High Pure Filtration Systems from 2010, we first did a basic search to see if any pre-compiled information was available. We searched through national and local news websites like Forbes, WSJ, NBC, etc., M&A websites such as M&A Portal, and press release sites such as PRNewswire, Businesswire, etc. As the corporate website of High Pure Filtration Systems did not also provide any news or press releases regarding mergers & acquisitions, this search did not produce any relevant results. The only information found through this search strategy pertained to available products types, shipping details, and user guides, among others. We looked into the company further by deep diving into the company's website and examining its policies, contact and terms & conditions thoroughly. We also did an x-ray search of the site to know if there was any mention of merger and acquisition from 2010, but there was none. As we followed this course, we observed that the company frequently used High Pure Water, High Pure Water Filters, and High Pure Water Filtration Systems as its names. We also found out that the company's website content is a property of Calig, LLC.
Knowing these names for the company from the method above, we then tried to search for its company profiles in websites such as Crunchbase, Craft. Co, Hoovers, Owler, and OpenCorporates, (as these websites usually provide information on mergers, acquisitions, and funding). Unfortunately, there was no company profile available for High Pure Water, High Pure Water Filters, and High Pure Water Filtration Systems in all these websites. We then checked the company profile of Calig, LLC which we found associated with High Pure Water, but there was no company profile of Calig LLC in Crunchbase, Craft. Co, Hoovers, and Owler. However, we were able to pull company information from OpenCorporates. From the OpenCorporates profile, we were redirected to the California Secretary of State business search tool, from which we were then able to pull out the registration document of Calig, LLC in California and found relevant information about the company. We also tried searching for companies named High Pure and was able to find HighPure Manufacturing Company from a chat transcript. From our findings, we discovered that HighPure Manufacturing Company is FTB suspended. We also obtained some information from its registration document.
We pushed through the acquired information on Calig, LLC to be able to establish its connection with High Pure, and we were able to find additional sources in Finance LA and DATAGOVUS, showing its registration with Calig, LLC and doing business as High Pure. Afterward, we tried collecting press releases and news for Calig, LLC's and HighPure Manufacturing Company mergers and acquisitions on websites such as PRNewswire, Businesswire, etc. but there were no articles found. There were also no separate websites for Calig LLC and HighPure Manufacturing Company.
Lastly, we tried locating social media accounts for Calig, HighPure Manufacturing Company, and High Pure Filtration Systems and we were only able to find an Instagram account for High Pure Filtration Systems. We looked into the Instagram posts to see if there was any news related to mergers and acquisitions, but there were no such posts.
