About Us
Our Heritage
Satec was established in 1969 as the Public Health Engineering Division of Air Products Limited. From its inception, the company represented several respected names in the water and wastewater industry, including Shone Ejectors, Oxigest Sewage Treatment Plants, Smith & Loveless Pumping Stations, Tangye Pumps Ltd, and Hughes & Lancaster Ltd.
Our engineering heritage extends back to 1857 with the founding of Hughes & Lancaster Ltd, a pioneering manufacturer of wastewater pumping systems. After supplying its first wastewater pumping installation in 1882, the company built an international reputation for delivering major drainage and sewerage infrastructure projects across the world. Landmark schemes included the principal drainage systems for capital cities such as Cairo, Rangoon, Karachi, and Concepción, demonstrating a long-standing commitment to engineering excellence and innovation.
In 1985, Satec became the exclusive UK partner for Eurowater, a leading European manufacturer of water treatment systems with a heritage dating back to 1936. Renowned for designing and manufacturing reliable, long-life water treatment plants, Eurowater’s systems are engineered for exceptional operational performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Today, our long-standing partnership with Eurowater enables Satec to provide customers across the UK and international markets with high-quality water treatment solutions, ranging from bespoke engineered systems to proven off-the-shelf equipment. By combining our engineering expertise with Eurowater’s advanced technology, we deliver reliable, efficient, and sustainable water treatment systems tailored to the unique requirements of each project.
