What EUROWATER does

EUROWATER, legally Silhorko-Eurowater A/S and being rebranded to Grundfos Water Treatment Denmark A/S following its 2020 acquisition by Grundfos, designs, manufactures, and services industrial water treatment plants for European enterprise and utility customers. Its product portfolio spans the full treatment train — activated carbon and pressure filtration, ion exchange (softening, dealkalization, demineralization, mixed bed with on-site and off-site regeneration), membrane filtration (nanofiltration, single- and double-pass reverse osmosis including the RO-PLUS high-recovery system and CU:RO compact skid), electrodeionization, deaeration (CO2, membrane, thermal, vacuum), and UV disinfection via its long-standing Wedeco distribution partnership. Technology differentiators include RO-PLUS recovery rates of up to 90% versus ~75% standard, UPCORE counter-current regeneration, and PFAS-removal ion-exchange resins with 8-10 year service life. The company sells turn-key engineered systems (frame-mounted, containerized, and rental units up to 20 m³/h), supports them with preventive service contracts, and delivers them across 15+ European countries through 24 owned sales and service offices plus 149 dealers worldwide.

The business operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market targeting vertical segments where water quality is a regulatory or product-quality gating factor: food & beverage (dairy, brewing, ingredient water), heat & power plants (boiler feed, district heating), water utilities (drinking water, PFAS removal), hospitals and laboratories, hydrogen production / Power-to-X (PEM, AWE, SOEC, AEM electrolyzers), and surface treatment industries. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales, recurring service and consumables contracts, and usage-based rental of containerized units; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. EUROWATER is now part of Grundfos Water Treatment Europe, which groups Silhorko-Eurowater with the acquired Culligan Commercial & Industrial operations in Italy, France, and the UK, forming a roughly 1,000-specialist, 45-office European water treatment platform.
