GWF acquires Unimon and Uniqtech

Lucerne/Bergdietikon - GWF from the Swiss canton of Lucerne is obtaining two companies founded by the biotechnologist and environmental technologist Martina Hofer, Unimon and Uniqtech. With this, GWF intends to set new standards in water quality monitoring and safeguarding. Hofer will be responsible for this within the group.

According to a press release, GWF took on Unimon and Uniqtech at the start of January, two companies based in Bergdietikon in the Swiss canton of Aargau. They were both set up by the biotechnologist and environmental technologist Martina Hofer 20 years ago, who will be responsible for water quality within the GWF Group in future. She stated: «We can now grow more rapidly within the GWF Group and bring our expertise to markets outside Switzerland.»

The GWF Group intends to set new standards in water quality monitoring and safeguarding in Switzerland and beyond through the integration of Hofer’s companies focusing on the identification of cause-and-effect relationships for quality indicators in the water cycle. The aim is to provide water suppliers and wastewater companies with integrated water quality solutions in future.

Markus Neuhaus describes the two acquired companies’ expertise as exceptional. The Chief Sales Officer of the international, Lucerne-based company specializing in flow measurement, consumption data collection, and measured data communication, stated that Unimon’s digital platform will be integrated into GWF’s platform in the first phase. Then, «over the coming months, we will systematically expand our portfolio of sensor technology and solutions for water quality through partnerships and in-house innovations.»

Florian Strasser, CEO and Chairman of GWF, describes this strategic move into water quality measurement and data interpretation as a «vital step» in the further development of the business. He added: «I’m excited to collaborate with the Unimon team and to offer our customers even more cutting-edge technologies and solutions.»
