ACO is a water-tech company that protects water. Based on our global drainage expertise, which protects people from water, we increasingly see our mission as protecting water from people.
With the ACO WaterCycle, ACO supplies systems with which water can be collected and channelled, cleaned, stored and ultimately reused. In this way, ACO contributes to the preservation of clean groundwater as a vital resource and makes a contribution to the world of tomorrow.
In its Agenda 2030, the UN has defined the improvement of water quality as one of 17 goals for sustainable development.
Intelligent drainage systems from ACO are increasingly using smart technology to ensure that rainwater and wastewater is drained or temporarily stored.
With innovative separation and filter technology, we prevent the contamination of water, for example by grease, fuels, heavy metals or microplastics. Today, ACO goes one step further: we take on the challenge of reusing water and thus ensuring a resource-conserving cycle. For all products and systems, ACO emphasises durability, reusability and a low CO2 footprint. Striving for sustainability is an ongoing process that we want to face anew every day.
The ACO Group is a global family business that is one of the world market leaders in the Water-Tech segment. Founded in 1946 in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, it operates as a transnational network in over 50 countries. ACO is characterised worldwide by highest regional market proximity.
