BEST WATER TECH­NOLOGY

BWT

"For You and Planet Blue."

Our name says it all: we under­stand our mission to be to develop the best water treat­ment prod­ucts and services anywhere. But even more: water is our mission. We ensure hygiene, safety and health in people's day-​to-day contact with water. We contin­u­ously pursue our research to develop inno­v­a­tive solu­tions, and work to further enhance our prod­ucts.

We aspire to provide our customers with the highest quality water treat­ment systems, tech­nolo­gies and services while simul­ta­ne­ously conserving the resources of our blue planet.

BWT – For You and Planet Blue.

Our slogan “For You and Planet Blue” sums up our mission well: namely, striving to act sustain­ably and respon­sibly as a busi­ness enter­prise to both meet the needs of every indi­vidual as well as preserve our planet as a unique bios­phere.

“For You”

BWT's goals and prod­ucts are geared to people and their needs. The “You“ in our motto stands for our customers, our busi­ness part­ners and our employees.

“For Planet Blue“

This part of our slogan under­scores not only the vital role that the clas­sical element water plays on our “blue planet“, but also the role which BWT plays in this context. We use our know-​how to treat the limited water reserves of our planet to make this resource usable for humankind – always in harmony with nature.

Certi­fi­ca­tion

In concrete terms, we turn our vision into reality by having our work, prod­ucts and services audited and certi­fied by inde­pen­dent insti­tu­tions. We rely on the appro­priate manage­ment systems in line with the require­ments applic­able at each of our loca­tions. We apply quality manage­ment in accor­dance with ISO 9001 to achieve maximum product quality and thereby high customer satis­fac­tion. An envi­ron­mental and energy manage­ment system compliant with ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 as well as ISO 45001 to ensure occu­pa­tional health and safety has been intro­duced at many of our company loca­tions for the purpose main­streaming the concept of sustain­ability throughout all of our activ­i­ties. In doing so, we send out a clear signal: for our envi­ron­ment, for our employees, and for meeting our customers' effi­ciency require­ments.

All the BWT Group compa­nies align them­selves closely to these stan­dards, and regu­larly undergo internal and external audits to ensure compli­ance. We do all this to provide clear certainty that we're acting and working to the highest stan­dards.

Water tech­nolo­gies

Tech­no­log­ical edge can only be gained by inno­v­a­tive thinking and action. This is why we contin­u­ously research into all areas of water treat­ment at our BWT Inno­va­tion Centres, working cease­lessly for you to improve the processes for filtra­tion, filter media, ion exchange systems for deminer­al­i­sa­tion, soft­ening, decar­bon­i­sa­tion, membrane tech­nolo­gies (micro, ultra and nanofil­tra­tion and reverse osmosis), pure steam gener­a­tors, pure water distillers, ultra­vi­olet (UV) systems, ozone gener­a­tors, ion exchanger membranes, elec­trol­ysis, elec­tro­dial­ysis, elec­trodeion­i­sa­tion, chlo­rine dioxide gener­a­tors and metering pumps.

We ensure water of the highest quality is readily avail­able – right at the point of use where it's needed.

Inno­va­tion by BWT

For decades, we've had but one goal in our sights: to improve the quality of people's lives wher­ever water is concerned – and to do so with custom-​tailored water treat­ment solu­tions that deliver water of the highest quality. We don't restrict ourselves to stan­dard­ised, of-​the-shelf prod­ucts, rather we're the ones who consis­tently set new stan­dards in water tech­nology. In keeping with our philos­ophy of "Feel – taste – see the diffe­rence", we offer our customers prod­ucts with real inno­va­tions, such as drinking water with the extra enjoy­ment and vitality factor, silky-​soft Pearl Water as a beauty elixir, or water in its purest form as an essen­tial compo­nent of high-​tech appli­ca­tions. Feel, taste and see the differ­ence!

Our vision

BWT – the leading inter­na­tional water tech­nology group

BWT's vision is born of these aspi­ra­tions and chal­lenges: we want to become the world's leading water tech­nology group. To achieve this goal, we need to grow – in every respect.

Growth in all areas

One of the engines for growth is inno­va­tion. A company that seeks to grow, expand and improve must further develop itself, its prod­ucts and services on a contin­uous, pro-​active basis, and some­times think outside the box rather than rely on conven­tional, tried-​and-tested ways. By growth, we also mean geograph­i­cally: currently, there are more than 80 BWT subsidiaries and affil­i­ated compa­nies world­wide, as well as R&D depart­ments in France, Germany, Switzer­land, Austria and Russia. And we're working on more!

For us, however, further devel­op­ment doesn't only mean thinking about the far distant future, but also on what's lies directly ahead. This is why we're working contin­u­ously to improve and opti­mise our existing processes and proce­dural work­flows, as well as fine-​tuning current tech­nolo­gies and prod­ucts to make them even better.

Throughout this growth process, we remain committed to our oblig­a­tion of assuming envi­ron­mental, economic and social respon­si­bility.

BWT – a corpo­rate success story

From its begin­nings as a small company in Pforzheim, Germany right through to today's large corpo­rate Group, BWT has always been shaped by a unique spirit of entre­pre­neur­ship and research and a devoted drive to inno­vate and succeed.

The roots of BWT can be traced back to the year 1823, when Johann Adam Benckiser founded a small chem­ical factory in Germany bearing his family name. Flash-​​forward then to 1990, when Andreas Weißenbacher laid the foun­da­tion stone for today's BWT as part of a manage­ment buy-​out. He trans­formed “Benckiser Wasser Technik“ into “BWT“, marking the begin­ning of a long-​standing success story. While BWT was initially head­quar­tered in Hallein, Austria, two years later the young company relo­cated to the Austrian town of Mondsee.

2020, a year unlike any we have ever seen, and yet a mile­stone in BWT Group history for the water tech­nology company cele­brates its 30th anniver­sary. 30 years of dynamic devel­op­ment, unique tech­nolo­gies and big achieve­ments for the world’s most precious resource - water. To main­tain its positing of being THE inter­na­tional water tech­nology group, BWT Aktienge­sell­schaft was trans­formed into BWT Holding GmbH on 1.10.2020. Headed up by Andreas Weißenbacher and Peter Wienerroither, the company will focus on acting as the BWT Group’s manage­ment holding company.
