GRAF Polska

What GRAF Polska does

GRAF Polska is the Polish local-market presence of Otto Graf GmbH, a family-owned German manufacturer of plastic water management systems headquartered in Teningen, Germany, with additional production in Herbolzheim and Neuried. The company designs and produces modular polyethylene tanks, infiltration and attenuation systems, and small-scale wastewater treatment plants. Core technology platforms include the EcoBloc modular stormwater system (with variants delivering up to 3x the storage volume of gravel ditches and load-bearing capacities from pedestrian to 60-ton lorry-rated), the SBR (Sequencing Batch Reactor) oneSolution wastewater treatment line (one2clean, oneAdvanced, bluecycle, oneUp), and the Carat and Platin underground rainwater harvesting tank families backed by up to 30-year warranties. Adjacent offerings cover rainwater filtration (including PFAS-targeted EcoPure/EcoClean substrate filters, EcoCross lamella clarifiers, EcoProtect hydrodynamic separators), grease and oil separators, firefighting water storage, drinking water reservoirs, and IoT-enabled monitoring (ARCOS Storm, BlueLevel R, Silentio Connect) under the GRAF brand plus the consumer-facing GARANTIA sub-brand.

The business sells primarily hardware (tanks, modular systems, filters, pumps) supplemented by professional services such as free sizing calculations, technical planning, and the GRAF Academy training program for certified installers. Distribution combines a self-serve/PLG website layer (with product advisors and downloadable technical documentation), direct enterprise field sales for commercial, industrial, and municipal projects, and a certified installer channel. Customer segments are hybrid and span private households, commercial/industrial operators (e.g., REWE, EDEKA, Siemens), municipalities pursuing sponge-city and climate-adaptation infrastructure, and food service/hospitality requiring grease separation. The company reports an "European market leader" position with installations referenced in 60–70+ countries and localized websites across Europe, South Asia, and the Indo-Pacific, but discloses no revenue, headcount trend, or funding data for either the Polish entity or the German parent.

Broad incumbents

• Saint-Gobain PAM: Saint-Gobain PAM supplies ductile iron and cast iron pipe systems for water supply, sewerage, and stormwater networks across Europe. It is a broad incumbent in water infrastructure, competing primarily at the pipe-and-conduit level rather than GRAF's plastic tank/infiltration niche.
• Xylem: Xylem is a global water technology leader with broad exposure to pumps, treatment, and metering. Its Flygt, Wedeco, and Smart Water portfolios give it scale advantages over GRAF in larger municipal water projects, though GRAF's plastic tank/infiltration focus is complementary rather than directly overlapping.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Veolia operates large-scale municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment businesses globally. It competes with GRAF at the larger project end and through decentralized solutions, while GRAF's plastic-tank and SBR niche is narrower in scope.

Direct peers

• Rehau: Rehau is a polymer solutions provider serving building, infrastructure, and water management markets, including stormwater infiltration and rainwater systems. Its portfolio overlaps with GRAF's modular plastic stormwater and water storage products across Europe.
• Wavin: Wavin (part of Orbia) is a leading supplier of plastic pipe and water management systems for building, infrastructure, and stormwater applications across Europe. It directly competes with GRAF in rainwater harvesting, stormwater infiltration, and drainage product lines for residential, commercial, and municipal customers.
• Kingspan Water & Energy: Kingspan's Water & Energy division produces modular rainwater harvesting tanks, stormwater management systems, and hot water storage. It competes with GRAF in plastic and steel rainwater/stormwater tanks across European residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
• Uponor: Uponor supplies plastic piping and water management solutions for residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications. While more focused on plumbing and heating, it overlaps with GRAF in rainwater and stormwater system components for buildings and developers.
• Premier Tech: Premier Tech Water and Environment offers decentralized wastewater treatment, rainwater harvesting, and stormwater management systems. It directly competes with GRAF in SBR-style small-scale wastewater plants and modular stormwater solutions, with a strong presence in Europe.
• ACO Group: ACO Group is a major manufacturer of drainage, stormwater management, and water treatment systems using polymer concrete and plastic technologies. It overlaps with GRAF in stormwater attenuation, infiltration, and separator categories for commercial and municipal customers.
• Roth Werke: Roth Werke manufactures plastic tanks and systems for rainwater harvesting, stormwater retention, and wastewater applications, primarily in German-speaking markets. It directly overlaps with GRAF's Carat/Platin-class underground tanks and decentralized treatment product lines.
