SUEZ is accelerating its growth in China with two major moves: a new industrial water treatment plant in Jiangsu and an upgraded strategic partnership in Shandong.
In Jiangsu province, SUEZ will team up with the Lianyun Economic Development Zone to jointly study the investment, construction, and operation of a RMB 440 million industrial water treatment plant.
Designed to supply 50,000 m³/day of industrial water and 20,000 m³/day of demineralized water, the facility aims to support one of the region’s most dynamic manufacturing hubs—home to more than 1,000 companies in new materials and advanced manufacturing.
Local demand for high-quality industrial water has surged, and the new plant is expected to ease pressure on resources, cut operating costs for businesses, and promote more sustainable industrial growth.
Guo Peng, District Mayor of Lianyun, said: “The project will meet the park’s diverse water quality needs while ensuring a stable supply as demand grows. Through sound planning and efficient operations, it will reduce environmental impact, optimize water supply costs, and help enterprises lower expenses, while improving efficiency.”
In Shandong province, SUEZ has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Shandong Public Water Group—transforming a successful project-by-project relationship into a broader strategic alliance. The two sides plan to combine Shandong Public’s local reach with SUEZ’s global technical expertise to expand cooperation into infrastructure development and waste management.
Deng Gang, Chairman of Shandong Public, said: “Shandong Public and SUEZ are closely aligned in operations and development strategy. With SUEZ’s technical expertise and management strengths, we look forward to building on past achievements and defending our partnership as we enter a new stage of deepened collaboration.”
Xavier Girre, CEO of SUEZ, added: “I’m delighted to work on deepening collaboration with our Chinese partners in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces in water and waste management. These new opportunities showcase SUEZ’s ambition to continue growing in China and build on 50 years of history — as this year marks the 50th anniversary of SUEZ’s presence in China.
"We are proud of the trust we have built with our Chinese counterparts and are determined to continue delivering state-of-the-art facilities and innovative water and waste services to address industrial and municipal needs.”
