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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
