MENA-Water

What MENA-Water does

MENA-Water (legal entity MENA WATER FZC, Sharjah, UAE, with German subsidiary MENA WATER GmbH in Berching) is an engineering and manufacturing company that designs, builds, and commissions water and wastewater treatment solutions for municipal authorities and industrial customers across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Founded in 2007, the company operates from a primary base in the SAIF Zone of Sharjah with a regional office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and is positioned within the HUBER Technology ecosystem, integrating proprietary German components (Q-Press, RoDisc, perforated belt screens) into its own product designs.

The company’s core product platform centers on containerized, plug-and-play package plants ranging from 10 m³/day to 60,000+ m³/day capacities, leveraging MBR (Membrane Bioreactor), MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor), SBR (Sequence Batch Reactor), DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation), ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis technologies. Supporting offerings include mechanical pre-treatment equipment (drum screens, perforated belt screens, grit washers, washing compactors), sludge dewatering and biogas handling systems, odor control (activated carbon, bio-filters, wet scrubbers, bio-trickling filters), and renewable-energy adjuncts (solar and wind water pumps). Turnkey projects are executed as design–supply–install–commission contracts with named references including Saudi Aramco (Jazan Economic City), Marafiq (60,000 m³/day Jubail WWTP), ADSSC (Al Ain rehabilitation), RAKWA, Ajman Sewerage, Royal Guard of Oman, IFFCO, Promasidor, Hamburg Water Group, and the German Embassy in Kabul.

MENA-Water generates revenue through three streams: (1) hardware sales of containerized plants and mechanical components, (2) engineering and project services for turnkey contracts awarded via competitive tenders, and (3) after-sales service, maintenance, and remote-monitoring contracts. The company sells directly to end customers with no reseller or distributor layer, markets through major industry exhibitions (IFAT Munich, IFAT Saudi Arabia, SIEE Pollutec Algeria), technical seminars/webinars, and a multilingual website with a downloadable project-reference library. Pricing is custom quote-based with no public price list, consistent with project-EPC economics.
