A Truly Global Partner

We are operating in a field which is the prerequisite of life – water. Our goal is to be the best solution provider for water treatment and industrial processes on a global basis.

We are the world’s leading producer of inorganic coagulants and rank third globally in the production of organic polymers. As such, we offer a wide range of high quality products and processes for environmentally friendly and cost-effective water treatment.

Expanding in Emerging Markets

During the last two years, we have almost doubled our revenue, widened our product range and continued to expand our business, especially in emerging markets.

For example, our position in the Latin American water treatment market has been reinforced through two acquisitions. Through these acquisitions we have expanded our product range and entered a new market.

Customized Products and Solutions

Our range of coagulants includes aluminium based products such as polyaluminium chloride and aluminium sulphate. The last one has been used for various water treatment purposes throughout the 20th century and which still meets the increasingly stringent quality requirements for drinking water. Ferric chloride and ferric sulphate are examples of iron-based coagulants used in drinking water and wastewater treatment and in the reduction of odour and corrosion.

Our extensive range of polymers is used worldwide in municipalities and industries such as agriculture, oil production, pulp and paper.

We also offer complete customer solutions combining tailor-made products, equipment and services. These solutions can be used to further improve e.g. water quality, process capacity, energy reduction, sludge management and water consumption reduction.
