De Pardieu Brocas Maffei has advised Orège on the signature of a strategic worldwide commercial partnership with the Scandinavian Alfa Laval group, a world leader for products and solutions to the wastewater treatment industry.

This strategic partnership will allow Alfa Laval and Orège to address the needs of municipal and industrial players in their ongoing quest for innovative solutions to enable them to reduce the operating costs of wastewater treatment plants while still achieving sustainability targets and the valorization of treated water and sludge.

Teams from Alfa Laval and Orège will initially focus their marketing efforts in the United States for products combining Orège’s conditioning solution (SLG) with Alfa Laval’s dewatering solutions (from the Ashbrook Simon-Hartley belt filter press range) for new-build, retrofit or expansion projects for wastewater treatment plants.

This includes being a world leader for equipment and solutions for wastewater and sludge treatment with an installed base of several tens of thousands in over 100 countries throughout the world.

Orège is an international cleantech firm specialized in the development, manufacture and marketing of solutions for the conditioning, treatment and valorization of municipal and industrial sludge.
