Industrial Solutions
Our Industrial Solutions segment includes the manufacturing of products that range from plastic piping systems to specialty chemicals, coupled with market-specific services and solutions offerings. This segment caters to a diverse set of end markets that includes water treatment, mining, infrastructure, and general industrial activities. We have three business units within this segment: DYKA Group, Kuhlmann Europe, and moleko.
DYKA Group
DYKA Group, which is composed of the three branded entities DYKA, BT Nyloplast, JDP, provides high-quality, value-added piping solutions for the utilities, agricultural, building, and civil engineering markets. We focus on achieving higher levels of customer satisfaction by offering pre-assembled piping kits, project consultancy services, engineering support for ventilation solutions, sewage and rainwater solutions, and siphonic roof drainage systems. We provide our solutions via our integrated sales and support network, our manufacturing and logistics professionals, and over 70 customer-oriented branches, as well as more than 2,000 points of sale around Europe.
In an ever-changing world, we are experiencing growing needs related to urbanization, energy challenges, climate change, the increasing scarcity or abundance of water, while at the same time standards of safety, health, and comfort remain high. As a consequence, attenuating or infiltrating rainwater from more frequent and heavier showers, accommodating requirements to move towards more energy-neutral buildings, preventing leakages of valuable drinking water with better quality piping networks, and reducing costs in complex construction value chains are just a few of the challenges our customers face. These are best dealt with by applying the extensive range of systems and services from DYKA Group. In addition, increasingly more recycled material and non-fossil-based energy sources are being applied in the manufacturing of our products and systems, thus improving the environmental footprint of our business. This gives new value to both post-industrial and post-consumer plastics and, consequently, reduces demands on finite resources.

Kuhlmann Europe
Kuhlmann Europe provides industrial and municipal markets with coagulants and other chemicals for either the treatment of wastewater or the purification of drinking water. We also produce industrial chemicals which are used by a broad spectrum of industries such as the pharmaceutical industry, petrochemical, steel, and fertilizer industries. Our other chemical products include bleach, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, various grades of hydrochloric acid to meet the demands of many markets, and calcium chloride for food and industrial applications.
We are one of Europe's leading inorganic coagulant producers, operating four production sites that are located in Loos (France), Tessenderlo and Ham (Belgium), and Rekingen (Switzerland). We are ideally located to supply some of the largest cities in Western Europe.
We are continuously strengthening our leadership in the manufacture of ferric coagulants, building on our process expertise and contributing to resource conservation. Our circular business model transforms hydrochloric acid by-products from fertilizer production into valuable raw materials for the steel industry. For instance, iron-containing spent acid solutions generated during the pickling process are repurposed in our ferric chloride production.
Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability is clearly demonstrated by such initiatives as our use of the barge Blandina for the transportation of our products and raw materials, and various CSR projects we have executed. From our water reduction efforts to continually improving processes for enhanced sustainability, we actively seek synergies to promote environmental stewardship.
