Waterlogic is a leading global workplace hydration solutions company.
Waterlogic is a leading global workplace hydration solutions company that primarily rents out mains-fed point-of-use (“POU”) water systems to a diverse range of B2B customers. Waterlogic designs, assembles, distributes and rents out the water coolers. Manufacturing and R&D is 100% owned, with patents on key products and technologies. Founded in 1992, Waterlogic was one of the first companies to introduce POU systems to Europe.
The product range comprises POU coolers for offices available as table-top or free-standing units that provide purified ambient, cold, hot or sparkling water. Coolers are typically placed with B2B customers on full-service rental contracts or sold to distributors in markets where Waterlogic does not have a direct presence. The Group’s offering additionally includes taps / under-the-sink solutions (Billi), HoReCa solutions (Purezza), as well as bottled water coolers in select markets.
Waterlogic has high environmental, social and governance standards and demonstrates its commitment in a detailed ESG report.
