Suez to expand Hungarian ultrafiltration membrane plant

Suez Water Technologies & Solutions is investing around €30 million to expand its ultrafiltration membrane manufacturing plant in Oroszlány, Hungary.

The plant is one of the largest in the world dedicated to the production of hollow-fibre ultrafiltration membranes.

Suez says that the expansion of the plant will significantly increase the production capacity of the ZeeWeed 500 product line, and meet the growing demand for membrane technologies.

"This project is a reflection of both our strong commitment to the local community and the world's growing need for membrane-based solutions to achieve high-quality water for discharge or reuse," said Yuvbir Singh, CEO of Suez Water Technologies & Solutions. "The market for membranes is strong and will continue to grow."

The expansion, which will be built on a greenfield site, is expected to be completed in 2023.
