What Rittmeyer aqotec AG does

Rittmeyer aqotec AG (legal name Rittmeyer AG) is a Switzerland-based provider of instrumentation, automation, and control technology for critical water and energy infrastructure. The company is headquartered in Baar, Canton of Zug, and operates as part of BRUGG GROUP, an international industrial conglomerate. The company cites more than 120 years of experience and reports a workforce of 330 employees supporting more than 20,000 installations worldwide.

The product portfolio is organized around four solution categories: instrumentation solutions (measurement and sensor technology such as level and flow measurement), monitoring and alarms (real-time surveillance of infrastructure operations), automation and process control systems (control technology and telecontrol stations for facility automation), and operational logging and optimization (data recording and efficiency improvement). These solutions are complemented by a services portfolio that includes troubleshooting, maintenance, inspection, ICT security, and IT/OT services, addressing the full lifecycle of critical infrastructure assets.

Rittmeyer serves enterprise customers across four primary verticals: wastewater treatment plants, hydropower stations, water and energy supply utilities, and water distribution and irrigation systems. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with project-based, multi-year contracts; pricing is custom and contact-based. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, automation and control systems, professional services, and managed services. The company maintains an international presence across Europe (Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Croatia) and references global deployments, supported by a multilingual digital presence and the annual EXCHANGE Rittmeyer Water Conference as a sector engagement platform.
