Van den Heuvel Watertechnologie

What Van den Heuvel Watertechnologie does

Van den Heuvel Watertechnologie (VDH watertechnology) designs, manufactures, and services salt electrolysis systems used for on-site water disinfection, producing ultra-pure, low-chlorate hypochlorous acid or sodium hypochlorite without chemical transport or storage. The company's product portfolio is built on two core technologies — open cell electrolysis and membrane electrolysis — both offered as standardized products and tailored engineering solutions. Operations are headquartered in Scherpenzeel, Netherlands, with a regional office in Chilliwack, Canada, and two production facilities supporting more than 3,000 installations across 60+ countries.

The company serves five industry verticals — Industry (cooling towers, adiabatic cooling, closed-loop systems, water reuse), Horticulture (recirculation, drain water treatment, root zone protection), Food & Beverages (ingredient water, rinsing, CIP), Drinking Water (municipal supply, EN901/WRAS-compliant systems), and Swimming Pools (pool and wellness water treatment). VDH operates a consultative, sales-led go-to-market model in which prospects engage via direct phone and email contact to receive customized engineering solutions.

VDH functions as a business unit within the ProMinent Group, a global water technology conglomerate, and holds EN901, WRAS, CE, CCC, and LRQA certifications supporting regulatory compliance across European, UK, and Chinese markets. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales bundled with service and maintenance, with quote-based pricing reflecting the customized nature of most installations.
