Direct peers

• Ovivo Inc. Ovivo supplies engineered water and wastewater treatment solutions (membranes, DAF, biological, filtration) to industrial and municipal customers; its product portfolio and project-based model are highly comparable to NSI's treatment equipment business.
• Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions: Veolia's water technologies arm designs and builds drinking water, process water and wastewater treatment plants and operates mobile water solutions; it competes head-to-head with NSI for industrial and municipal EPCM projects globally, including in PFAS and resource recovery.
• SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions: SUEZ provides engineered water and wastewater treatment systems, mobile water services, and specialty chemicals to industrial and municipal customers, directly overlapping NSI's DAF, membrane, anaerobic and mobile water offerings.
• Aquatech International: Aquatech designs and supplies industrial and municipal water treatment, desalination, reuse and zero liquid discharge systems, with particular strength in process water and resource recovery; it is a direct EPCM competitor to NSI in industrial and power markets.
• IDE Technologies: IDE Technologies designs, builds and operates desalination and industrial water treatment plants, including thermal and membrane systems; it is a direct competitor to NSI in municipal drinking water and process water projects globally.

Emerging players

• Fluence Corporation: Fluence provides decentralized, packaged and smart water and wastewater treatment systems for industrial and municipal customers, with strength in modular and containerized solutions; it competes with NSI's modular and mobile water offerings as a smaller, faster-growing peer.

Regional players

• Kurita Water Industries: Kurita is a Japanese water treatment specialist offering chemicals, equipment and digital services for industrial ultrapure water, wastewater and resource recovery; it is comparable to NSI in industrial water solutions but primarily competes in Asia rather than directly across NSI's European core.

Broad incumbents

• Xylem Inc. Xylem is a global water technology company offering pumps, treatment equipment, and digital solutions for utility, industrial and commercial customers; it overlaps NSI in treatment systems, optimization services, and digital/monitoring solutions, but at much larger scale and breadth.
• Pentair plc: Pentair supplies water treatment equipment, pumps and filtration for residential, commercial and industrial applications; its Flow & Filtration Solutions segment overlaps with NSI's membrane, DAF and pumping/optimization portfolio but is broader and more standardized.
• Ecolab (Nalco Water): Ecolab's Nalco Water division provides industrial water treatment chemicals, equipment, and digital monitoring to food & beverage, pharma, pulp & paper, and energy customers; it competes with NSI on industrial water programs but is primarily chemicals-led rather than equipment-led.
