Duperon Corp., manufacturer of liquid/solids separation technologies for water, wastewater and industrial applications, announced that its president, Mark Turpin, has become a co-owner of the company alongside Founder Terry Duperon and CEO Tammy Bernier.
Expanding ownership within Duperon has long been a shared vision for Terry Duperon and Tammy Bernier — one rooted in stewardship, continuity and recognizing leaders who embody the company’s values and long-term mission.
Turpin joined Duperon as president in 2016 and has played a pivotal role in guiding the organization’s sustained growth, innovation, and culture, the company said.
“Mark has been instrumental in shaping who Duperon is today,” said CEO Tammy Bernier. “His leadership, integrity, and deep commitment to our employees, customers, and the water industry made this a natural and meaningful step for the future of Duperon.”
“I have a tremendous amount of faith in Mark and deep respect for the way he leads,” said Founder Terry Duperon. “He is thoughtful, highly strategic, and absolutely dependable — he does what he says he is going to do. That kind of integrity matters. Naming Mark co-owner is not only well-deserved, it’s the right thing to do for the future of Duperon. I’m confident in his leadership and excited about where he will help take this company next.”
With more than two decades of experience in manufacturing and extensive executive leadership roles across both private and public companies, Turpin brings a proven track record of delivering organic growth and innovation. Under his leadership, Duperon has experienced continuous growth, launched six new products, advanced multiple industry-first innovations, and earned top honors from local, regional, and national organizations.
A press release from Duperon noted Turpin is widely respected within the water industry for his leadership and advocacy. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Water and Wastewater Equipment Manufacturers Association (WWEMA), where he was re-elected for a third term beginning Jan. 1, 2024.
Turpin previously served as WWEMA Board Chairman in 2017, Chairperson-Elect, and Treasurer, helping guide the organization during periods of significant industry change.

“I am deeply honored to become a co-owner of Duperon,” said Turpin. “This company’s purpose, people, and passion for protecting water resources are what make it special. I’m grateful for the trust Terry and Tammy have placed in me and excited to continue building a company that makes a meaningful difference—for our industry, our communities, and future generations.”
Duperon said the expansion of ownership marks an important milestone for the company, reinforcing its commitment to long-term leadership, innovation, and its mission to dare to make a difference — for people, for water, and for the planet.
