Background
Waterops (Pty) Ltd was established in 1997 by professional South Africans combining specialised experience in the water treatment field, both within South Africa and internationally, with expertise in the fields of finance and administration. The resultant company (with black majority shareholding) initially concentrated on only providing water treatment plant operating services and training. However, as from the end of 2009 the company has decided to strategically re-align itself in the water treatment field and will in future concentrate on supplying Thermax water chemicals and ion exchange resins (in assigned sales territory), and conducting water treatment plant investigations and troubleshooting. The company has also been independently verified and is deemed to be an exempted micro enterprise with B-BBEE procurement recognition of a Level 3 contributor. (Download B-BBEE certificate.)

During 2009 and 2010 lengthy negotiations between Thermax and Waterops took place resulting in an agreement for Waterops to represent Thermax in Southern Africa for a number of its water treatment chemicals and ion exchange resins in the assigned sales territory. Thermax is a technology driven company that has been in the core sectors of energy and environment for more than 25 years. Thermax Chemicals is backed by decades of Thermax expertise in water treatment and combustion engineering. This enables accurate analysis of plant problems, precise solutions and tailor-made products for each application. Thermax Chemicals manufactures its world class products in state of the art manufacturing plants at Paudh near Pune in India. Total quality is a way of life to ensure consistency in quality, as is aptly illustrated by Thermax being certified ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OSHAS 18001:1999 compliant. |
