At its end-of-year meeting, the managers of Immmes, the manufacturer of integrated water treatment systems, were able to report great results: the threshold of 500 Immmes systems installed worldwide has been cracked, according to the latest results. This is a crowning conclusion to the year, according to Paolo Reffo Scarso Sales & Marketing at Immmes, who presented the figures for the past season.

Plant size increasing significantly
The average size of Immmes' water treatment plants has increased from 87 cubic metres per hour to 123 cubic metres per hour in five years.
Paolo Reffo Scarso comments: "This development is the highlight of a special year. It is of particular importance that the plant size continues to be on an upward trend, which means that more and more companies (in the glass industry) are showing special respect for the environment and its protection, which thus also serves for sustainability. Furthermore, this provides the basis to meet the challenges of the markets and global competition."

More than 500 systems sold speak for themselves, especially in view of the continuous increase in raw material and energy prices over the last more than two years. This creates a tension between investments and profitability, because steel and technological components account for a large part of the production costs for the Immmes water treatment plants.
Financial support for glass processors
To support its customers in the glass processing industry, the manufacturer has decided to cushion a large part of the price increases that would otherwise impact the final price of the products; a measure that will be maintained as long as raw material costs remain above the March 2021 standard, according to the company.
