Huber Technology

What Huber Technology does

HUBER Technology, LLC is the North American operating subsidiary of HUBER SE, a privately held German multinational specializing in water, wastewater, and sludge treatment equipment. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Huntersville (with US operations centered in Denver, NC), the company manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of mechanical, electromechanical, and stainless-steel equipment covering the full wastewater treatment chain: coarse and fine screening (ROTAMAT®, STEP SCREEN®, Bar, Belt, Ultra Fine screens), micro-screens and filtration (RODISC, ROTA FILT, CONTIFLOW sand and active carbon filters), screenings treatment (wash presses, compactors), mechanical and thermal sludge treatment (solar, belt, disc, cold air dryers), grit traps and classifiers, dissolved air flotation, wastewater heat exchangers (ROWIN), conveyor systems, and containerized plants (MBR, drinking water, reverse osmosis). The company complements this hardware with HUBER Cloud Solutions for remote equipment monitoring and lifecycle service and maintenance contracts.

HUBER Technology serves municipal wastewater utilities as its primary segment, alongside industrial wastewater customers in food and beverage, pulp/paper/textile, and energy/utilities verticals, plus drinking water suppliers. The business model is predominantly hardware sales of equipment units and complete plant systems, augmented by professional services for lifecycle maintenance, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The company operates an enterprise field sales motion through regional offices, supplying operators, consulting engineers, and industrial buyers directly, and reports a cumulative installed base of more than 65,000 systems worldwide.

In April 2024, HUBER Technology inaugurated its expanded Denver, NC production facility, aligned with Build America, Buy America procurement rules, strengthening its position in US federally funded water infrastructure. The company is privately held with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and no current M&A or partnership announcements in the input data, operating instead as a strategic operating subsidiary under its European parent.
