Aguas Latinas

What Aguas Latinas does

Aguas Latinas is a Mexico-based B2B water and wastewater treatment solutions provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Mexico City, with a regional subsidiary (Aguas Latinas Perú S.A.C.) operating from Lima. The company supplies, installs, and maintains water treatment systems for industrial clients across chemical, pulp and paper, food, textile, aquaculture, commercial/recreational, and domestic wastewater segments, with publicly claimed project execution experience in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Aguas Latinas is ISO 9001:2015 certified under registration RSSGC-1028 and is described as a group of international specialists focused on the selection and integration of water treatment technologies.

The company's product portfolio spans the full treatment value chain: pretreatment, biological (aerobic and anaerobic) secondary treatment, tertiary treatment including nitrogen removal and filtration, sludge thickening/dewatering/drying, disinfection and oxidation, DAF physical-chemical separation, membrane systems (MBR, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis), pumping, agitation, mixing, aeration, blowers, and biogas instrumentation. The technical backbone is not a proprietary platform but rather an aggregation of global OEM technologies held under exclusive representation agreements in Mexico and Peru with manufacturers including Hidroflux, Nordic Water, Aerzen, TNE, Wilo, Mazzei, Martin Membrane Systems, Quantum, and Ozonia, among others.

Aguas Latinas generates revenue through three streams: one-time equipment and complete-plant supply tied to individual projects, professional engineering services including technology selection, design, installation supervision, and commissioning, and recurring technical service contracts (annual maintenance, spare parts, diagnostics, operator training). Pricing is quote-based and project-by-project, with no publicly disclosed rates. The go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B field sales in Mexico and Peru, supplemented by manufacturer partner referrals, industry events, and a light LinkedIn/Facebook presence. Workforce is reported at 11-50 employees, ownership is private with no disclosed PE/VC/parent involvement, and no M&A or funding history is evidenced.
