Drinking water treatment brand perma-trade Wassertechnik
A company in its element.
Water is changeable and extremely versatile. We at perma-trade have also internalized this trait. We like to make waves, are open to other points of view and go our own "waterways" again and again. Especially when it comes to topics such as sustainability, responsibility and competence.
Pioneers of chemical-free water treatment
Full hydro ahead! Again and again.
The fact that perma-trade Wassertechnik has its very own view of many things is a recurrent theme throughout the company’s history. It is not for nothing that we are still regarded as pioneers in the field of environmentally friendly water treatment. With numerous patents of our own, a highly productive research department and a special sense of responsibility for our No. 1 food, we have developed a versatile complete range over the years. Whether lime and corrosion protection, drinking water optimisation through filter and vitalisation systems or heating water treatment for maximum energy efficiency: perma-trade water technology offers a refreshingly simple and resource-saving solution for almost every requirement. Managing Director Michael Sautter attaches particular importance to the fact that the products manufactured in Germany are sold exclusively via sanitary specialist companies. In addition to their quality, they also offer attractive guarantees.
Cooperation with the Atrio Workshop for the Disabled
Why perma-trade products connect in a special way.
Quite simply: Because they were created out of sustainable and social responsibility. We do not only attach great importance to the quality judgement “Made in Germany” and let produce exclusively in Germany. Since 2002, we have also maintained a close form of cooperation with the “Atrio Workshop for the Disabled”, which can be regarded as exemplary in this dimension. At Atrio, we now manufacture a good 85% of our products and have firmly anchored our social responsibility in our corporate values. For this, perma-trade not only received the SME Award for Social Responsibility. Founder and Managing Director Michael Sautter was also awarded the Baden-Württemberg Business Medal for his social commitment.
Sustainability. Responsibility. Competence.
What matters to us is: Lasting values.
As confessing “dissenters” we are open for many things and like to go unusual ways. However, there are also things that are absolutely non-negotiable for us: These clearly include our company values. Sustainability, responsibility and competence are the triad that determines our daily actions and thinking.
Developed from Swabian pioneering spirit and bubbling enthusiasm
