What Innowatech does

INNOWATECH GmbH is a privately held German water-technology company founded in 2005 that develops and sells electrochemical water treatment and disinfection systems based on its proprietary ECA (Electrochemical Activation) technology, implemented through membrane cell electrolysis. The core output of the process is INNOWATECH Anolyte, a virucidal, bactericidal, sporicidal, and levurozidal disinfectant produced on-site without hazardous chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, or chlorine gas. The product portfolio centers on the Aquadron equipment series (five variants — F, G, CG, KL, PG) for industrial and commercial water treatment, the Multi-Mess-Center for drinking water and process water monitoring, and a Wasserchemie (water chemistry) line covering drinking water, cooling water, boiler water, and wastewater treatment.

The company serves industrial and commercial B2B customers across at least nine verticals, including breweries and beverage manufacturers, food processing, healthcare facilities, cooling systems (linked to the 42. BImSchV regulation), agriculture, real estate and property management, schools, swimming pools and sports halls, senior care homes, and municipal waterworks. Its primary commercial applications are drinking water hygiene, Legionella and biofilm control, and removal of hazardous chemicals from disinfection processes. INNOWATECH is a DVGW member company and a WHG-certified specialist firm, and reports more than 20 years of operational experience, positioning itself as a regulatory-aligned, chemistry-replacement alternative to traditional chlorination.

The business model is direct B2B sales of capital equipment (Aquadron systems, Multi-Mess-Center) combined with the consumable Anolyte and recurring service contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are sold as customized industrial solutions. Go-to-market is conducted through a multilingual corporate website (German, English, Spanish, French), an active trade publication program in German industrial magazines (DMZ, Flüssiges Obst, Future Foods, TAB, KÄLTE KLIMA AKTUELL), and a references page covering multiple verticals. The disclosed operating geography is Germany, with the multilingual website suggesting DACH and broader European ambitions.
