De Nora shortlisted for Water Technology Company of the Year 2022

A global leader in providing effective water treatment solutions focusing on sustainability, De Nora Water Technologies is pleased to announce its selection as a top-four finalist in the prestigious Global Water Awards as “Water Technology Company of the Year.” The award, hosted by Global Water Intelligence (GWI), will be revealed at the Global Water Summit in Madrid on May 16, recognizing the company to make the most significant contribution to the field of water and digital technology in 2021. Voting is underway through April 25 and open to all stakeholders.

“Speaking on behalf of the entire De Nora team, we are thrilled to receive this honor,” said Dr. Mirka Wilderer, CEO of De Nora Water Technologies. “We are on a mission of accelerated and entrepreneurial growth to become a global water technology powerhouse. Organic growth leveraging our long history of innovation combined with strategically pursuing technologies and services with a focused M&A roadmap is getting us there. Being shortlisted for the prestigious GWI award acknowledges the passion of the De Nora team for making a difference – for our customers and partners and for us.”

Last year, De Nora acquired the UV Technologies Division from Calgon Carbon Corporation and ISIA S.p.A from Grundfos. These developments, combined with more than 95 years of proven success in providing efficient water treatment solutions for emerging contaminants of concern, qualified De Nora for the accolade. Additional highlights include introduction into a new surface disinfection market in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with EPA certification of salt used in ClorTec® SD systems; significant growth in green hydrogen, including an alkaline water electrolysis contract by Thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers (NUCERA) at the world’s largest production plant in Saudi Arabia; and an upward trajectory in the aftermarket business. The company also successfully launched DE NORA VIA™, a visual assistance platform that provides remote monitoring via augmented reality and artificial intelligence has positioned De Nora as the partner of choice around the globe,

Showcasing De Nora’s wide-reaching impact, GWI recognized 12 of our partners in the 2022 Global Water Awards as potential Water Company of the Year, Desalination Company of the Year, and Public Water Agency of the Year, as well as three project categories.
