Engineers inspect membrane filtration systems in an Indian manufacturing facility.
In a significant move to bolster India’s indigenous manufacturing capabilities in advanced water treatment technologies, Ion Exchange (India) Ltd. has announced a strategic collaboration with Germany-based MANN+HUMMEL Water & Fluid Solutions.
This partnership aims to localize the production of critical membrane technologies, encompassing ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems within India. The collaboration is set to enhance the local supply chain for these essential components, reducing import dependency and fostering technological self-sufficiency in the country’s burgeoning water management sector.
By combining Ion Exchange’s extensive market presence and manufacturing expertise in India with MANN+HUMMEL’s global technological leadership in filtration and separation, the venture is poised to strengthen the local ecosystem for membrane-based solutions. This initiative is expected to drive innovation and provide cost-effective, high-quality water treatment systems to a wider range of industries and municipalities across India.
