Meet the team

"When it came time for us to expand our operations, ADS was instrumental in guiding us to the right location - one with a skilled workforce, forward thinking research partners, local officials with an interest in economic development, and financial incentives for small businesses. ADS introduced us to the local leaders who will continue to support our growth and to the economic incentives that will spur that growth."- Vincent R. Ferrara, Founder,
President & CEO, Xenith LLC

The outdoor industry's recognized leader in on-the-move, individual water purification equipment came to ADS seeking a strategy to enter new markets. ADS identified a critical military need for transportable water purification, advised the company in adapting their technology to meet that need, worked with the U.S. Congress to secure funding for the military product development, and then worked with the U.S. Marines to ensure timely fielding of the finished product. The company's militarized water purifier is now issued to every U.S. Marine operating in Iraq and Afghanistan, allowing soldiers in combat to drink any water anywhere.
