THE COMPANY The Best Water Technology group of companies was founded in 1990 from an MBO of the Benckiser Group, Ludwigshafen in Germany, and today the BWT Group with its 54 subsidiaries and associates is the leading water technology company in Europe. BWT has pledged itself to the entire water cycle - from source back to earth – and accordingly, the business areas of drinking water, swimming pool water, process and waste water were consistently expanded. The Best Water Technology Group maintains production plants at four main sites - in Paris, France; Schriesheim, Germany; Tamasi, Hungary; and Mondsee, Austria, as well as at the associate Christ AG at Aesch in Switzerland. All the basic technologies for water treatment applications, disinfection technologies such as UV- and ozone plants are as much part of the programme as ion-selective membranes, electrical desalination plants, ion exchangers, membrane plants (reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration) and the new AQA total Technology - the first technology worldwide for drinking water treatment without the use of salt – and the unique FuMATech High-Performance Proton Exchange Membrane which will revolutionise the fuel cell technology. Research and development are carried out at four sites. Growth through innovation is life. Growth through geographic expansion is the engine for long term dynamic company development. BWT subsidiaries and associates are now present in every European country with the exception of – 10 – Scandinavia. We purchased or founded companies in North and South America and in Asia during the past few years; these will carry out sales and engineering in the local markets. It is the goal of the BWT Group to build on its leading position in Europe by means of consistent internationalisation, bearing in mind BWT’s value strategy. The basis for this continued dynamic development in an increasingly fast-changing market are maximised profits. They are the basis for financing BWT’s growth strategy in the most interesting world market: „WATER”.
