Making Water Safer

Inspired by our commitment to making water safer, we deliver high performing and cost-effective water treatment solutions

Water makes up 60% of who you are. For us, it’s 100%.

Our mission is centred around ensuring access to clean, safe, and healthy water for everyone. This mission is driven by the recognition that water is a fundamental resource for all aspects of life and that the safety of water is critical for the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and the environment.

New Zealand and Australia are countries with diverse water resources, from rivers and lakes to groundwater, but they face challenges in managing these resources sustainably.

We commit to making water safer by supporting our customers to successfully treat and manage their water resources.

We achieve this through building trusted relationships with our customers and the use of advanced technology and innovative solutions, while also promoting awareness and education about the importance of water safety.

FILTEC has a strong set of values that form the foundations of our business. We integrate these values into our daily operations, decision-making and team culture.

We communicate these values clearly and consistently to our team and customers and hold ourselves accountable for upholding these values in all aspects of our business.
