Georg Fischer (GF), a Swiss industrial group, has recently signed a two-year contract with Sabesp, Brazil’s leading municipal water supply and wastewater treatment utility, valued at approximately CHF 100 million (equivalent to around RMB 870 million). This two-year order marks GF’s largest municipal sector contract in corporate history and ranks among the biggest single orders the Group has ever secured to date.
Beyond industrial and building applications, GF delivers a comprehensive portfolio of innovative municipal solutions. Covering the full water cycle from water sources and treatment plants to end-user taps, we provide end-to-end support for water supply infrastructure to preserve precious water resources and cut pipeline leakage.
Partnering with Brazil’s largest municipal utility to advance water network modernization
Founded in 1973, Sabesp is Brazil’s largest water supply and sanitation company and ranks among the world’s largest water utilities by population served. It provides water distribution and wastewater treatment services to 375 municipalities across São Paulo State, covering roughly 28 million residents. Sabesp and GF share a long-standing, successful partnership. Under this project, GF will supply piping system products and integrated solutions to modernize São Paulo State’s water supply network.
As part of Brazil’s national initiative to modernize water infrastructure and achieve universal access to water and sanitation services by 2033, Sabesp is investing heavily in upgrading its water distribution network. Last year, GF delivered a NeoFlow pressure manhole for pilot deployment, integrating technologies from GF, VAG, Uponor and other brands into a compact, easy-to-install solution. Per the terms of the contract, GF will supply a full range of products including PE pipes to support Sabesp’s municipal water system upgrade objectives.
