What AWC Solutions does
AWC Solutions, operating legally as AWC Water Solutions Ltd., is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of custom water and wastewater treatment systems headquartered in Langley, British Columbia, with a satellite office in Calgary, Alberta. The company is part of a diversified Canadian group spanning the energy and manufacturing sectors and has operated for over 40 years, delivering 500+ treatment systems across North America representing approximately 632 million gallons of installed daily treatment capacity.
AWC's core product offering is organized around five technology platforms — filtration, clarification and flotation, membrane treatment, biological treatment, and ancillary systems — which can be deployed as package plants, modular prefabricated buildings, site-constructed plants, or as retrofits to existing infrastructure. The technology is largely commodity-level (pressure filters, GAC filters, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, MBR/MBBR), but AWC differentiates on a technology-agnostic, vertically integrated engineering-and-fabrication model that includes in-house lab services, piloting, engineering, fabrication, start-up, commissioning, training, and parts and maintenance. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with no public standard pricing.
The company operates a sales-led, consultative GTM targeting municipalities and industrial buyers across Canada, the United States, and Mexico in verticals including oil & gas, mining, food & beverage, and general industrial, with an additional focus on First Nations communities and resort/developer water systems. It markets primarily through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, supported by case-study content, LinkedIn presence, industry association memberships (AWWA, WEFTEC, BCWWA), and a 2024 B.C. Export Awards nomination signaling international positioning.
