Founded in the early 1970s, FORMECO has established itself as a global leader in the design and manufacturing of systems for the treatment and recovery of industrial waste. With more than five decades of experience, the company offers cutting-edge technological solutions that help industries reduce environmental impact, cut costs, and comply with strict environmental regulations.
Leading the Way in Environmental Engineering
FORMECO main areas of activity include the design and manufacture of waste water evaporators and solvent recycling systems for a wide variety of industrial sectors including automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, and electronics.
Spotlight on Innovation: The Heat Pump Double Effect Vacuum Evaporator
Among the latest innovations, FORMECO proudly introduces its Heat Pump Double Effect Vacuum Evaporator with—a revolutionary system designed for high-efficiency wastewater concentration and distillate recovery. This advanced evaporator utilizes a double-effect configuration to maximize energy recovery between the two stages, significantly reducing operating costs. A different vacuum rate in each individual boiler allows different evaporation temperatures. It converts into an energy save up to 40% compared to a single effect unit. The result is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution capable of managing large volumes of industrial wastewater while maintaining high distillate purity and low power consumption.
Comprehensive Product Portfolio
FORMECO wide range of products includes:
- Waste water vacuum evaporators (single, double, and triple effect systems)
- Solvent distillers (manual and fully automatic)
- Fractional distillation units (customized)
This diverse offering allows FORMECO to address the complex needs of industries seeking sustainable waste reduction and resource recovery technologies.
Market Presence and Trends
Operating in over 70 countries worldwide, FORMECO is active in a growing market that is increasingly focused on circular economy practices, green manufacturing, and regulatory compliance. The demand for sustainable water and solvent recovery systems is on the rise, particularly in Europe and emerging Countries, driven by stricter environmental policies and the rising cost of waste disposal.
Market Trends and Outlook
Current market trends show a strong shift towards low-carbon and energy-efficient systems, where companies are prioritizing technologies that offer long-term savings and a smaller environmental footprint. FORMECO product development strategy is aligned with this direction, focusing on energy optimization, automation, and digital monitoring of waste treatment processes.
Innovation at the Core
The heat pump evaporators, and double effect models in particular, stands out as one of FORMECO most innovative solutions to date. Its high-efficiency thermal cycle, compact design, and low maintenance requirements make it ideal for small, medium and large-scale operations. It reflects FORMECO continuous investment in R&D and its commitment to helping industries become more sustainable. Formeco can also offer zero liquid discharge solutions, with special units which reach a dry process residue, draining any liquid from the contaminant, and with combination of different technologies for project which require the treatment of huge daily quantity to treat.
Forecast for second half of 2025
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, FORMECO anticipates a further worldwide sales growth, driven by growing environmental awareness and expanding industrial demand in Emerging Countries. Strategic partnerships, a strong focus on after-sales service, and ongoing technological innovation are expected to endure the continued growth that has characterised FORMECO turnover in recent years.
