“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 and make this resource usable for humankind.

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!

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.
