Cembrane joins the Ovivo Group

Cembrane joins Ovivo to propel the growth of its Silicon Carbide ("SiC") membrane technology.

 

Founded in 2014 and based in Lynge, Denmark, Cembrane produces a unique patented Silicon Carbide flat sheet membrane used by water & wastewater treatment OEM & system integrators worldwide for a wide variety of applications in drinking water and wastewater within both the municipal and industrial markets. Cembrane’s SiC membrane technology is integrated into more than 450 installations in 65 countries and is a perfect complement to Ovivo’s process and system expertise. Ovivo has worked with many types of membranes in the past, but after several years of testing, installing and operating over 50 installations with Cembrane SiC membranes, Ovivo has designated Cembrane SiC membranes as its preferred membrane technology in the future.

 

The partnership between Cembrane and Ovivo started in September 2018 when Ovivo signed an exclusive licensing agreement and took a minority participation in Cembrane. Since then, Ovivo has successfully integrated Cembrane’s SiC membranes into many of its solutions. The integration of Cembrane within the Ovivo group will not only enhance growth in Ovivo’s existing markets, but it will also create opportunities with new solutions that are aligned to its customers’ need for durability, highest performance and sustainability. As part of Ovivo, Cembrane will operate under its own brand name and will continue to be led by Lasse Andreassen, as Chief Executive Officer of Cembrane.
