What Aquaprofit does

Aquaprofit Zrt. (legal name: AQUAPROFIT Tervező és Építő Zrt.) is a privately-held Hungarian environmental engineering firm, founded circa 1996–1998 and headquartered in Budapest, that delivers integrated water management services across planning, design, construction, and technical consulting. The company serves Hungarian municipalities and municipal associations, water utilities, industrial clients (including Nestlé Aquarel and Szentkirályi Magyarország), agricultural cooperatives, and spa/wellness operators, with a portfolio spanning drinking water supply, wastewater treatment, surface water management, irrigation infrastructure, water monitoring, and environmental protection consulting. Its core execution capability is the full lifecycle from feasibility and authorization through construction implementation, supported by a multidisciplinary in-house team.

The firm has developed a portfolio of proprietary technologies including the IWAT mobile water treatment unit (solar-powered, modular, 30 m³/day capacity for ~1,000 people), SmartMic AI-controlled electrochemical wastewater treatment (developed with Slovak partners HOFITECH and NOVO Technologies under EUROSTARS), ASR arsenic removal (1 Hungarian patent), IMR iron/manganese removal, Aqua Modisys mobile disinfection (2 Hungarian utility models), and a family of specialized hydraulic structures (AP SD2-1, AP BT4-8, AP VK8, AP VS 4-8). Revenue is generated through professional services (engineering design, construction implementation, consulting) and hardware sales (proprietary treatment products and structures), sold via direct enterprise field sales to government and infrastructure buyers, with projects frequently funded through EU support programs (GINOP, KEHOP, VP). Notable landmark projects include the 11 billion HUF Ős-Dráva sustainable water retention program (completed 2022, the largest combined water retention–supply development built in Hungary in 50 years) and the Ormánság–Kislippó irrigation development completed in August 2025 (686 hectares, 27 km of pipelines, 2 million m³ reservoir capacity).
