Space for a new company location in Traiskirchen

In a joint groundbreaking of corporate representatives and representatives of regional politics, Aquaconsult Anlagenbau announced the start of the construction work to build its new company headquarters in Traiskirchen (Lower Austria). Aquaconsult invests a total of over four million euros in the long-standing location and, among other things, expands its production and F & e-capacities. The planning phase for the new construction project has already been completed, and the new building should be completed by the end of 2025.
President Hirokazu Ishida and Director Kazuaki IIJIMA represented the owner group Sanki Engineering from Japan at the groundbreaking ceremony. The Japanese ambassador, Kiminori Iwama, was on site as well as Sabrina Divoky, Mayor of Traiskirchen, and the Lower Austrian member of the state parliament Christoph Kainz.

“As a representative of the Sanki Engineering Group, I am very happy that Aquaconsult is building a new office building. This is an important step for continuous growth. I hope that the new office building can be completed quickly and without incidents, so that the foundation stone is laid for a continued brilliant future of Aquaconsult. ” – Hirokazu Ishida, Präsident SANKI ENGINEERING

“We have developed from the family business into a global player with an international owner structure in the past 20 years. Our sales network now comprises around 30 sales partners and 60 countries. Regardless of where our aerostrip ventilation is delivered, each individual is produced here in Traiskirchen. This should stay that way in the future, so we invest in this location. ” – Gerald Glaninger, Managing Director Aquaconsult Plant Construction

“Companies like Aquaconsult not only contribute to creating jobs, but also provide important impulses for the entire region with sustainable innovations. We are proud that a worldwide successful company has chosen the Traiskirchen location and further invested here. ” – Sabrina Divoky, Mayor Traiskirchen

F&E expansion with a modern test tank

The future company headquarters should primarily offer new office space and storage areas, but also a larger and extensive area. For this purpose, a modern test tank for the further development of the aerostrip strip ventilation is also integrated into the new building. “This enables us to test our products and developments all year round for a wide variety of variations and conditions,” says Aquaconsult Managing Director Gerald Glaninger. “This will enable us to optimize our solutions for every needed application and to constantly develop our technological pioneering role in terms of energy and CO2 savings, which has made us an important player in ventilation technology to this day.” Aquaconsult has established itself as a hidden champion in sewage treatment technology in recent years and delivers its energy -efficient aerostrip of strip ventilation to numerous wastewater cleaning systems worldwide.
The topic of energy and CO2 savings also plays a central role in the manufacturing process of sewage technology professionals. Because part of the investment volume flowed, among other things, into a photovoltaic system that was built on the roof of the existing hall and has been supplying clean electricity for a year. A total of 376 PV modules at the location produce around 164.82 mWh solar power per year. “This enables us to generate the energy that we need for the production of the aerostrips and for charging our EV company vehicles, completely through our own PV power plant,” says Glaninger. “We are very proud to be able to describe ourselves at Aquaconsult as an energy -neutral ventilation manufacturer!”

Mission: climate -friendly water management

The Traiskirchner company is very important to continue to provide a significant amount of a climate -friendly water management in the future. A central topic in the industry is the energy expenditure that is necessary to clean the wastewater. According to the current state of the art, this can be estimated at around 1.5 % of the total energy consumption of a country for wastewater treatment. The ventilation in the biological cleaning level is again responsible for more than half of the energy requirement of a sewage treatment plant. The fine -blown aerostrip of strip ventilation is characterized by the highest energy efficiency and a lifespan well above average. In the operation of a sewage treatment plant, you can achieve immense energy saving potential and a continued high oxygen input performance. This overall package brings with it significantly low operating costs, minimizes the consumption of raw materials, the associated carbon footprint and the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The innovative strip ventilation from Traiskirchen in Lower Austria are now used around 2,500 industrial and municipal sewage treatment plants around the world.
