- Waterco Limited operates as a global manufacturer and distributor specializing in water treatment and aquatic products including swimming pool equipment, spa products, water filtration and sanitization systems, aquaculture supplies, and water purification solutions. Its core product portfolio comprises filtration systems, pumps, chemical sanitizers, solar pool heating, fibreglass and injection-molded components, residential and commercial water treatment systems, and pool and spa accessories. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, Waterco serves residential, commercial, industrial, and aquaculture markets in over 40 countries with manufacturing, R&D, and distribution facilities across Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, China, New Zealand, the US, Canada, France, the UK, and the Middle East.
In recent strategic developments, Waterco completed a significant acquisition of Davey Water Products in September 2023, a move that established it as the largest Australian-owned and operated entity in the global water industry. This acquisition enhances Waterco’s market presence, broadens its product offerings, and strengthens its distribution channels, particularly in North America, Europe, and emerging markets across Africa and the Middle East. More recently, Waterco announced the integration of Davey’s commercial teams with its own to leverage combined strengths and expand market reach. In addition, the company has invested in expanding manufacturing capabilities, including acquiring land for new facilities in Malaysia. It also issued new employee incentive securities in late 2025 as part of its growth and retention strategy.
Waterco operates mainly in the industrial machinery manufacturing sector under the ticker WAT.AX on the Australian Stock Exchange and is recognized for its innovation in energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable water treatment technologies. Its targeted customer base spans from private residential pool owners to large commercial and industrial clients requiring reliable, safe, and healthy water solutions. Leadership remains under Founder, Executive Chairman, and CEO Soon Sinn Goh, who has overseen the company’s growth and continuous expansion in product innovation and geographic reach. The company holds a strong reputation for quality and reliability, supported by its extensive global footprint, diversified product range, and a strategic focus on technological advancements in water filtration and sanitization.
