Wilo Group

Wilo is a pioneer in intelligent premium solutions to face global challenges along water cycles.

Our actions are guided by Wilo’s Group Strategy and its core impact areas: Creating, Caring, Connecting. Around 9,000 employees worldwide work every day on innovations with a clear goal: to improve people's quality of life. In building services, water management and industry, we move, treat and control the most important resource on our planet. For over 150 years, we have been thinking ahead – and today, as an innovator in our industry, we are shaping the digital and AI era.

This is what we call: Pioneering for You.

In residential and commercial buildings, cost-effectiveness and sustainability requirements are playing an increasingly important role. This calls for systems with coordinated components. In the two market segments Building Services Residential and Building Services Commercial, we offer concepts designed around energy-efficient components and applications. These involve heating technology and air conditioning as well as water supply and wastewater disposal. Our products and system solutions are used in multi-residential and public buildings, industrial or office buildings, hospitals and hotels.

We are a partner to OEMs and manufacturers of boilers, heat pumps, air-conditioning systems and much more. Our pumps and hydraulic systems are designed for reliability, flexibility and efficiency. We continuously monitor regulatory developments and changing market requirements and use these insights to develop a broad range of established and customised solutions for OEM applications.

We also work as a development partner and contribute our expertise and ideas to the development of new solutions. Taking current and anticipated regulatory requirements into account, we identify emerging global market needs and changing market requirements at an early stage. This enables us to develop and offer solutions tailored to specific applications.

For OEM customers, we provide a broad portfolio of established, market-tested integrated products as well as intelligent, individually developed solutions for a wide range of requirements.

Driven by the fast pace of urbanisation and climate change as well as growing environmental pollution, water as a raw material is becoming a scarce and precious commodity in more and more regions of the world. Providing access to clean drinking water is a key challenge in many regions. In response to growing requirements in water extraction, water transportation, and wastewater transport and treatment, Wilo offers solutions for a wide range of water management applications, with a focus on technical performance and efficiency.

We develop and manufacture pumps designed for high reliability, flexibility and efficiency. These characteristics are particularly important for pumps and pump systems, especially in industrial applications. One of Wilo’s strengths in the industrial market segment lies in process-related applications across a wide range of sectors. As each industrial sector places specific demands on pumps and peripheral equipment, we develop application-specific concepts and solutions. In doing so, we take account of installation, operation and maintenance requirements, among other things. Around the world, Wilo pumps are used, for example, to pump cooling water in power plants. Other fields of application include mine dewatering and applications in food production.

We live in a time of crises and global challenges. This places demands not only on governments and businesses, but on all of us. Meeting selected technical and infrastructure-related challenges of our time requires determination and entrepreneurial spirit. Wilo implements targeted measures and technology solutions in defined fields of action. These are guided by selected global megatrends that are reflected in our strategy: urbanisation, human centricity, water responsibility, globalisation 2.0, climate change and the energy revolution. At Wilo, we see these developments as starting points for technical progress.

With the Group Strategy “Pioneering WATER AI for You”, Wilo combines water technology with the possibilities of artificial intelligence. Wilo builds on the vision of using technological progress for the benefit of people and the environment. On this basis, we develop intelligent solutions for specific challenges in water management and related fields of application, aligned with clearly defined use cases.

The strategy brings together the development of water technologies with the use of artificial intelligence and the three strategic thrusts Creating, Caring and Connecting. In doing so, Wilo focuses on intelligent water technologies, the ongoing development of its own business processes and collaboration with partners. In this way, technological innovation and concrete application goals are brought together within one shared strategic framework.

Future built on tradition

The Wilopark combines company history with a modern site. Covering almost 200,000 square metres in the south of Dortmund, it is home to the Wilopark corporate headquarters. With its six striking buildings, spacious piazza and extensive outdoor area, the Wilopark forms the southern gateway to the city of Dortmund. It is home to Wilo’s global and European headquarters as well as an intelligently connected production facility. The site also pursues a range of measures to reduce and offset operating emissions. In this way, the Wilopark brings together corporate functions, production and campus life in one location.

Global player with family business heritage

We are proud to combine our position as a global company with our heritage as a family-owned business, with strong roots in Germany and successful operations around the world. This is also reflected in our management structure.

Our Executive Board comprises internationally experienced executives who, in cooperation with the Supervisory Board and the majority shareholder, the Wilo-Foundation, work towards the long-term interests and development of the company.
