Aquaculture demand helps boost water treatment specialist BIO-UV
French water treatment and disinfection systems specialist BIO-UV Group has reported strong revenues of €20.1 million (£17.2m) for the first half of 2026, with its Services & After-Sales division achieving 10% growth on the same period last year.
The group, which owns East Kilbride ozone- and UV-based water-treatment systems manufacturer Triogen, says the positive performance reflects the continued expansion of the installed equipment base and underpins a growing stream of recurring, higher-margin revenue.
Growth was driven by export activity, stabilisation in the maritime retrofit market, and sustained momentum in fisheries and aquaculture. Revenue in the aquaculture segment alone increased by €0.6 million over the period.
In early 2026, BIO-UV Group notably secured a major contract for a water treatment and disinfection project with a global salmon producer in Iceland. The project is currently under implementation.
Aquaculture projects
BIO-UV Group, headquartered in Lunel, France, expects organic growth to continue throughout 2026 supported by accelerated momentum in its Solutions division, driven by export-led aquaculture projects, continued activity in maritime applications, and municipal and industrial wastewater solutions.
The company also anticipates continued expansion of the Services & After-Sales segment, benefiting from its recurring and higher-margin profile.
As of mid-July 2026, the Group’s order backlog is slightly higher than at the same point last year, with an increased pipeline of opportunities in export markets.
BIO-UV Group designs, manufactures, and markets innovative water treatment and disinfection systems based on ultraviolet light, salt electrolysis, ozone, and advanced oxidation processes (AOP).
