GF to modernize water networks in Brazil.
Georg Fischer AG (GF) has secured a major contract to modernize water networks in Brazil. The agreement with Sabesp builds on a long-standing partnership and is valued at 100 million Swiss francs, making it one of the largest contracts in the history of GF.
Georg Fischer AG (GF) has concluded a two-year contract with Sabesp, a Brazilian water and wastewater utility. The Schaffhausen-based company will be tasked with modernizing water distribution networks in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. The contract is worth around 100 million Swiss francs, which as GF explains in a statement, makes it one of the most valuable in the company’s history.
Sabesp supplies approximately 28 million customers in the aforementioned region. The project with GF supports Brazil’s national efforts to expand and modernize its water infrastructure and achieve universal access to water and sanitation by 2033. Under the terms of the agreement, GF will supply polyethylene pipes that will be used by Sabesp to expand its water supply network.
“Water utilities worldwide face growing pressure to reduce losses and modernize aging infrastructure and our collaboration with Sabesp shows how we help to address these challenges”, comments Andreas Müller, CEO of GF, in the statement. “It also reflects our Strategy 2030 to strengthen our leadership in Infrastructure by providing innovative end-to-end solutions to utilities and infrastructure customers”, he concludes. GF has been collaborating with Sabesp for many years already. In 2025, the company supplied a pilot NeoFlow pressure management chamber to stabilize the water supply.
