Founded in 1970, Aquatec Maxcon began as a specialist provider to Australia's water industry, delivering practical engineering solutions and quality equipment to water and wastewater authorities.
From its earliest years, the company focused on helping utilities and councils address the growing demand for reliable water and wastewater infrastructure, building a reputation for technical expertise, quality products and responsive customer service.
Over the past 55 years, the company has evolved into one of Australia's leading designers, manufacturers and suppliers of water, wastewater and waste-to-energy solutions. This growth has been driven by a commitment to engineering excellence, innovation and long-term partnerships with clients across municipal, industrial and regional sectors.
As the industry expanded and environmental standards increased, Aquatec Maxcon broadened its capabilities and service offerings, supporting increasingly complex treatment and resource recovery projects across Australia.
A significant milestone in the company's development was the establishment of its vertically integrated business model, bringing together engineering, manufacturing, project delivery, installation, commissioning and ongoing service.
Supported by its manufacturing and engineering facilities in Ipswich, Queensland, this approach has enabled the company to maintain control over quality and deliver reliable solutions throughout the entire project lifecycle. By managing key project stages in-house, Aquatec Maxcon has been able to provide clients with greater consistency, accountability and long-term support.
Innovation has also played a key role in Aquatec Maxcon's history. The development of the AquaBlade® fine bubble diffuser range and Australia's only full-scale aeration testing facility helped establish the company as a recognised leader in aeration technology and wastewater treatment solutions.
These innovations have enabled the company to contribute to improved treatment performance, energy efficiency and operational outcomes for water and wastewater infrastructure throughout Australia.
Today, Aquatec Maxcon continues to build on more than five decades of experience, delivering innovative water infrastructure solutions that support communities, industry and the environment across Australia.
With a strong foundation in engineering, manufacturing and project delivery, the company remains focused on developing sustainable solutions that address emerging challenges in water management, resource recovery and environmental stewardship.
