A unique company

Expand

The social objective of Aqualia focuses on the collection of water, its adaptation for human consumption, distribution and after-treatment, to ultimately return it to nature in adequate volume and quality, carrying out an efficient and sustainable usage of the resources and materials used in the process.

Aqualia's strategy is guided towards the end consumer with a particular emphasis on the quality of the supplied product. This is why the company focuses on making sure that the water reaches the user with maximum quality by conducting thorough analyses in the company's laboratories.

Another strategic pillar is the close relationship we have with our clients. For this purpose, Aqualia has set up a multi-channel system that offers completely interactive communication channels (face-to-face, telephone and online).
