How competent & competitive is Beijing Enterprises Water Group?

I have for some time been looking at BEWG and wonder how competent the group is in developing and building water solutions; do they have a future outside of China? Any first hand insights are much appreciated.

The principal businesses of the BEWG Group include operations in water treatment business, construction and technical services for the water environmental renovation. The coverage of the Group’s water plants has extended to 21 provinces, 5 autonomous regions and 3 municipalities all across Mainland China.

Sincerely,

  1. Depends of the client, I don't know BEWG but most of the worldwide water companies and the WWTP they built and operate in Latin America are mostly a mesh.

    If the water authorities are corrupt, no matter how much renowned or competitive (less of the cases) is the supplier, the water regulation would not be obeyed and by hardly and artificially can say 20% of LatAm wastewater is due treated, realistic no more than 10%.

    The contractors and suppliers company are mostly of Spain but also from France, USA, Germany, Israel, Holland, Canada, etc; as well national ones, but all of them with failing building and commissioning results for public and private sectors.

  2. Dear Per Jenster,

     

    Being a technical consulting in BEWG, it’s a nice surprise to see your question in Water Network.

     

    Since the end of 2007, Chinese environment service industry, especially the water industry, entered a new stage. As the central government is putting more and more importance to environment protection, climate change (emission reduction, and energy conservation), state owned conglomerates have been showing their sharp teeth.

     

    Fast expansion through acquisition:

    since June, 2008, BEWG acquired 88.43% stake of Z.K.C Environment Protection Co., Ltd. By a series acquisition to private companies, BEWG is the most outstanding performer over the past decade in China mainland.

     

    Embrace change:

    the environment service industry in China market, is too big in space, time and complexity. And, BEWG is now pushing innovations and business re-structure in order to meet authorities.

     

    Outside of China market:

    For BEWG’s competing in global market, recruiting the multi-culture staffs at the right price comes the first. The best water technology is also very important. When both are well done, BEWG deserves a much better future outside of China market.

     

    BR,

    1. Mr. Wu Hao,

      thank you for your comments on the background of the firm. However, as a technical consultant I wonder if you could comment on the firm’s strengths but also weaknesses, both in China but also with the few overseas projects. I understand you will be biased, but wonder if you could venture an objective view?

  3. I believe that post COVID-19 contamination, the future for any company coming out of China is greatly reduced.  However, I have no direct knowledge about their systems.

    1. Although I appreciate your engagement, your comment is rather superfluous, and does not further the conversation but highlight political biases withoutany objectivity!
