What Hidrofilt does

Hidrofilt is a privately held Hungarian water and wastewater treatment engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm founded in 1989 and headquartered in Nagykanizsa. The company designs, manufactures, commissions and maintains treatment systems based on reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, nano- and microfiltration, electrodeionization (CEDI), membrane degassing and automatic ion-exchange desalination, serving municipal utilities, government agencies, and industrial customers in pharmaceuticals, microelectronics, oil & gas, chemicals, nuclear power, food & beverage, tires and agriculture. Notable reference clients include MOL, Richter Gedeon, Samsung Electronics Hungary, MVM Paksi Atomerőmű, Borsodchem, Hell Energy, Dreher Sörgyárak, Hankook Tire, and government clients in the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

The business operates four product lines: (i) Automatic Complete Desalination Systems and CEDI equipment for high-purity water (conductivity <0.1 µS/cm, >95% recovery), (ii) the HidroWell sub-brand of containerized mobile treatment plants for emergency and remote deployments, (iii) the Statmix mixing/treatment sub-brand, and (iv) in-house stainless steel fabrication and parts/chemicals supply. Hidrofilt monetizes through one-time equipment sales, multi-year engineering and service contracts, and consumable parts supply, with custom quote-based pricing. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, a Dun & Bradstreet AAA Gold creditworthiness rating (2022), and the Hungarian Innovation Award (2023). It operates wholly owned subsidiaries Hidrofilt Service Ltd. (Hungary), Hidrofilt Poland, Hidrofilt Slovakia and Hidrofilt Romania, exporting to more than 30 countries.

Commercially, Hidrofilt pursues a direct enterprise field-sales motion, acting as main contractor or specialist supplier on turnkey projects, supported by a multilingual website (15+ languages) and participation in bilateral economic cooperation forums. Scale commentary cites 1,480 implemented projects, 188,480 m³/h of drinking water capacity delivered in three years, and 24 deployed technologies. The firm is privately held (Hungarian Kft.) with no disclosed revenue, no outside equity capital (only a EUR ~98K EU capacity-expansion grant in 2017), and 11–50 employees.

Functional benefit

Brands

• HidroWell: Mobile and containerized water treatment systems for drinking water production from surface water, well water, and seawater, including emergency and disaster-response applications.

Products and services

• Automatic Complete Desalination Systems Fully automatic water desalination units that switch to regeneration using sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid when pre-set conductivity is reached. Simplex units have no water supply during regeneration; duplex units supply water continuously. Applications include boiler feed water, microelectronics, glass industry, and pharmaceutical and food industry.
• Elektrodeionisation (CEDI) Equipment Continuous Electrodeionization (CEDI) equipment for production of demineralised and ultra-pure water. Continuous operation, chemical-proof regeneration, low electric power demand, modular construction, minimal maintenance cost and small footprint. Achieves conductivity <1 µS/cm (one cell) or <0.1 µS/cm (two cells) and TOC <5 ppb. Used for pharmaceutical products, infusion solutions and trace impurity removal.
• HidroWell Mobile Water Treatment Systems Containerised and mobile water treatment systems in multiple configurations (A1 for surface water, A2 for well water with arsenic removal, A3 for seawater) with capacities from 50 to 200 m³/day. Used for emergency response, remote sites and temporary installations producing drinking water from surface water, well water and seawater.
• Statmix Product Line Product sub-brand covering water treatment solutions including products, benefits and applications, application in the water industry, and special applications, including specialised mixing and treatment technology for water industry customers.
• Water Treatment Engineering and Project Services Full-service project delivery covering design, authorisation/permitting, manufacturing, commissioning, system operation, remote monitoring, maintenance and project management for water and wastewater treatment facilities, including laboratory water analysis and parts/chemical supply.
• Stainless Steel Production for Water Treatment Custom stainless-steel fabrication and production for water treatment applications, supplied as part of in-house manufacturing capacity supporting complete system delivery.
