BUILDING SERVICES RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL

Around the world, energy and resource efficiency is becoming markedly more important due to ecological and, not least, economic reasons.

Accordingly, there is a growing focus on economic efficiency and sustainability when it comes to commercial and private use of buildings. This makes it increasingly necessary to use innovative systems incorporating optimally coordinated components. Wilo offers the necessary energy-efficient concepts in the Building Services Residential and Building Services Commercial market segments. These relate to heating technology and air conditioning as well as water supply and wastewater disposal. Wilo’s product and system solutions find applications in detached houses, apartment blocks as well as public buildings, industrial and office buildings, hospitals and hotels.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Thanks to the fast pace of urbanisation and climate changeas well as growing environmental pollution, water as a raw material is becoming a scarce and precious commodity in more and more regions of the world.

Providing the rapidly growing global population with enough clean drinking water is a fundamental problem. In addition, the demand for water from agriculture and industry is rising sharply around the world. The safe and sufficient purification and supply of watertherefore already involves profound global challenges. As a partner to the water management industry, Wilo offers professional solutions designed to meet the increasingly complex requirements involved in drinking water extraction, water pumping, and the transportation and processing of wastewater. Wilo’s pumps and pump systems for water management set benchmarks around the world in terms of technical performance, efficiency and sustainability. 

INDUSTRY

Wilo develops and manufactures pumps that guarantee the highest level of reliability, flexibility and efficiency.

Particularly in industrial applications, these are vital and process-critical factors for pumps and pump systems. The particular strength of the Wilo Group in the Industry market segment is to support applications for processes in various industries. As everyindustrial sector has its own, often highly specific requirements in terms of pumps and peripherals, Wilo develops individual concepts and solutions for every industrial requirement. This ensures smooth installation, safe operation and efficient maintenance. Wilo pumps are used around the world for pumping cooling water in power plants, for example. Other important applications include dewatering in the mining industry and food production.

DORTMUND AS A LOCATION AS A MATTER OF CONVICTION

Dortmund has established itself as Wilo’s headquarters. Besides the marketing investments in Borussia Dortmund, Wilo is also now investing significantly in Dortmund as a location.

Here, where our success story started, the Wilopark is now being built – one of Germany’s largest industrial building projects. However, it is not an emotional or ideal decision driving this, but a tough business decision.

The argument for Dortmund is the market proximity to all of the production sites in Europe, the good infrastructure and the availability of well trained staff, so that the site is undisputed as a choice of location given its existing expertise.
