Tampa water company sells parts of its global business for $575 million

Primo Water Corp, the Tampa-based international water company, says in a Thursday news release that it sold a significant part of its international operations to Culligan International for $575 million.

And while Primo says the deal excludes Aimia Foods, and businesses in the United Kingdom, Portugal and Israel, "each of these will be sold across 2024."

Primo CEO Tom Harrington says the deal will allow the Tampa business to focus on North America.
