The latest from Wilo

Wilo is once again proud to sponsor the HIP student plumbing competition in search for the UK’s best plumbing & heating talent. In its 14th year, the competition provides a platform for apprentice and student plumbers to show off their skills at the very start of their career.

Wilo, one of the world’s leading premium providers of pumps and pump systems for the building services, water management and industrial sectors, and Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, have entered into a strategic partnership to jointly develop sustainability and efficiency solutions for the water and buildings industries.

As part of an asset deal, WILO USA LLC, a subsidiary of WILO SE, has acquired the operating business of QuantumFlo, Inc, a specialist in pressure boosting systems and intelligent pump systems. The company, based in Sanford, Florida/USA, offers high-quality products and innovative, user-friendly software solutions for the design and control of pressure boosting systems.

Wilo UK – a leading manufacturer of water pumps and pump systems – and the Environment Agency have won the Environmental Contribution of the Year accolade at the 2020/21 Pump Industry Awards. Wilo and the Environment Agency (EA) were recognised for their collaboration on the innovative River Severn Water Management Scheme.

Reliable supply plays a central role in building services, especially in big buildings, where large volume flows sometimes have to be transported with high delivery heads to provide the heating and cooling capacity.

Electricity plays a fundamental role in the development of the sub-Saharan Africa region: water treatment, cooling chains, electricity, internet - and all of it seamlessly and securely. The social enterprise Africa GreenTec is now taking a big step in this direction by introducing so-called ImpactSites. They are holistic concepts aimed at improving people's productivity and living conditions through sustainable, solar energy-based power generation. The project is supported technologically and financially by the company Wilo and the Wilo Foundation.

A message from Wilo (UK) Managing Director- Lee Tebbatt:

With the UK now in its second week of ‘lockdown’ we wanted to reassure you that at Wilo, our priority remains the safety and wellbeing of both our team and customers. We thank our suppliers, service partners and distributors for their support as we work together to keep the UK’s water flowing during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Even in times of the Corona crisis, work on the heating, water supply and sewage disposal system is essential for you as a specialist.

In these times, solidarity within society is more important than ever. Foundations are assuming responsibility for virtually all areas of society. And their efforts have become even more important during the coronavirus crisis – in all disciplines.

The Corona pandemic shows that although there are hundreds of states and thousands of regions, there only is one society. This is why the Chairman and CEO of the Wilo Group, Oliver Hermes, is calling for the Corona crisis to be tackled within the company through discipline, objectivity and modesty, but above all with helpfulness and cordiality.

With effect from 1 January 2020, WILO SE is expanding its Executive Board and appointing Dr. Patrick Niehr as a new member.

Board members Mathias Weyers (CFO) and Georg Weber (CTO) have also had their contracts renewed ahead of time until 31 December 2024

We are delighted that the partnership between the two local businesses has been secured until, at the very least, the end of the 2020/21 football season.

Replacing a circulation pump for underfloor heating can be very easy when you choose a Wilo underfloor heating pump.

Small circulating pumps are a key component of all wet heating systems in the UK. They perform as standalone pumps or as integrated pumps in combi and system boilers and they keep the water circulating in underfloor heating systems too.

Reliable and free of legionella water supply in complex buildings such as hospitals or care institutions are a special challenge.

New working environments will be created in an area stretching over 190,000 square metres. A production facility of the future. An efficient and sustainable administration building. A new site – the Wilo Campus Dortmund.

Water that stagnates in pipe sections with poor or no circulation poses a risk of legionella contamination. In commercially used buildings, increasingly high requirements are thus being set for pumps to ensure that drinking water is provided to a hygienic standard in the amounts and at the temperatures required.
