We celebrate our 25th anniversary in Lebanon this year along with our 150th anniversary in the world. This move marks a significant milestone for Wilo, and we expect continued and strong relationships with Lebanon. We will also share expertise on mitigating challenges prevalent in the industry and further explore various avenues to address the water shortages in Lebanon. ”
