What we do

Modern Water Group is a leading provider of patented water technologies. Led by an experienced management team, we have global reach with operations in the Middle East, Europe, South Africa, China, USA and the UK. In all our markets and across our suite of technologies, sustainability and environmental responsibility are at the heart of what we do.

Modern Water’s strategy is to successfully run and develop the business for the benefit of our shareholders by identifying, developing and implementing technologies that transform under-performing water assets into industry-leading projects.

The Group has eleven key patent families at various stages of the patent process.  Protection and exploitation of our intellectual property is fundamental to our success.

Ongoing research and development plays a major part in our strategy as the leading provider of world-class water technologies, which we achieve through successful collaborations with top academic institutions.

The global water market is growing year on year, as water scarcity continues to be an increasingly urgent issue for many parts of the world.  The Group has identified the Middle East as a key market with expectations that annual capital and operating expenditure on water and wastewater across the region will rise from US$31bn (£19bn) in 2009 to US$52.3bn (£32bn) in 2016 (Global Water Intelligence).
