wienerberger pools its smart solution activities in new company Wioniq to
drive further growth
Vienna, February 17, 2025 – wienerberger, a leading international provider
of innovative, ecological solutions for the entire building envelope, in
the fields of new build and renovation, as well as infrastructure in water
and energy management, announced the launch of the company Wioniq. It
brings together four innovative companies that operated within
wienerberger – Dutch companies Inter Act and I-Real, Swedish Wideco and
Finnish Slatek – combining their data-driven solutions for managing and
monitoring water and energy infrastructure, as well as optimizing building
operations. In doing so, Wioniq not only combines the expertise of these
specialist businesses but also establishes a platform for expansion in the
infrastructure sector for water and energy management, that offers
significant growth potential.
Wioniq provides its customers with integrated monitoring and control
solutions offering key insights into their infrastructure as well as
continuous optimization of entire systems up to predictive maintenance.
Its dedicated IoT devices capture all critical system parameters, analyze
them via the platform, recommend actions, and control operations. This
lowers operational costs, reduces resource consumption and emissions,
supports the European Green Deal, and gives customers peace of mind.
With its new combined offering across the areas of water, energy and
building operations, Wioniq can seize synergy potentials, develop new
solutions and meet the growing demand for real-time and actionable
intelligence on infrastructure and buildings. The Wioniq management
expects growth in all three business areas – water, energy and building
operations – over the next years.
Heimo Scheuch, CEO of wienerberger, says: “In order to meet the challenges
of our times, both in economic and ecological terms, we must focus on
innovation. That is why as wienerberger, we are continuously developing
new solutions for ecological, efficient infrastructure in the water and
energy management sector. Wioniq will play a crucial part in this strategy
going forward. The combined innovation power of four specialist companies
will expand our possibilities for improving efficiency in buildings and
infrastructure and will create a platform for further growth.”
