Emefcy Group Ltd Strategic Collaboration with RWL Water

Emefcy Group Limited and RWL Water announced the formation of a strategic alliance to accelerate both companies' penetration of the rapidly growing water treatment market in China. 

Founded by Ronald S. Lauder in 2010, New York-based RWL Water is recognised as one of the fastest growing water solutions companies in the world, having designed and built more than 7,000 successful installations, and possessing strong customer references in more than 70 countries worldwide.

RWL Water was recently nominated for the 2017 Global Water Awards in the category of "Water Company of the Year". 

Emefcy will enlist RWL Water's engineering expertise in designing and producing a range of packaged plant solutions for the China market. This expertise has been developed over the years by designing, producing and deploying scalable water treatment solutions incorporating specially adapted shipping containers.

This capability will enable Emefcy to offer its strategic distribution partners a spectrum of solutions including easy-to-ship and install modular solutions, packaged or kitted plants, or fully containerised plug-and-play plants.

These scalable solutions will provide the flexibility to meet varying requirements for waste water treatment in remote villages in China, thereby increasing the Company's ability to capture additional market share of the enormous China market opportunity. 

The packaged plant solutions will feature Emefcy's proprietary Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor ("MABR") wastewater treatment module, an ideal solution for medium-sized applications in developing markets.

Compared to traditional aeration-based treatment technology, Emefcy's system uses 80% less energy than other wastewater biological processes and delivers high quality effluent.

The modular design requires less space and less upfront capital cost. Emefcy reference sites are already operating under contract in China, Israel, Ethiopia, and US Virgin Islands. 

RWL Water, which does not currently have a strong presence in China, is likewise keen to leverage Emefcy's detailed market knowledge and network of strategic distribution partners in order to promote its complementary range of water treatment products including a containerized, scalable desalination product called "Nirobox". 

Under the terms of the agreement, Emefcy will pay RWL Water for engineering services in expediting the design of the spectrum of packaged plant solutions for China, as well as engineering and production services to complement Emefcy's MABR technology. Each company will also receive commissions on the sale of the other company's products. 

"Our two companies have had fruitful informal discussions for some time. This agreement formalises these arrangements which will help each of us strengthen and accelerate our go-to-market strategy in China," said Richard Irving, Executive Chairman of Emefcy.
