About inge watertechnologies AG

The globally active company inge watertechnologies AG, based in Greifenberg am Ammersee, Germany, develops, produces and sells ultrafiltration membranes, modules and racks used in the treatment of drinking water, process water, wastewater and sea water. It is Germany's largest ultrafiltration company and employs more than 60 staff. To handle significant increases in growth in Asia, the company now operates its own sales office in China.


In contrast to conventional water treatment processes, the technology used in inge watertechnologies AG's ultrafiltration modules offers numerous advantages: the modules can be rapidly and easily installed and the membranes are extremely resilient and stable. Even though the initial capital costs are slightly higher, the sustainably cost-effective operating concept enables these costs to be rapidly recouped. Another key advantage lies in improved health and safety: the extremely small-pore filters of the Multibore® membrane developed and patented by inge AG reliably intercept not only particles, but also microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, thereby providing clean, germ-free water.
