Helios and Dafo Fomtec Partner on Pioneering Water Treatment

Helsingborg, September 2025 — Helios Innovations and Dafo Fomtec are proud to announce a pioneering partnership for industrial water treatment.

Helios has installed a treatment facility at Fomtec's factory, making it the first facility in Europe to treat contaminated wash water from a firefighting foam factory at industrial scale.

The results speak for themselves:

  • 90% reduction in waste volume
  • 135,000 litres of freshwater saved annually
  • 16 tonnes of CO₂ emissions reduced

Charlotta Reimertz, Compliance Manager at Dafo Fomtec, said: "Working with Helios has allowed us to take a major step forward in our environmental responsibility. Treating our wash water on-site means we can dramatically reduce both our waste and our water consumption."

John-Olav Ottesen, General Manager at Dafo Fomtec, added: "This partnership demonstrates that industrial sustainability and operational efficiency go hand in hand. We are proud to be the first firefighting foam factory in Europe to implement this kind of solution."

Johanna Gillberg, COO at Helios Innovations, commented: "This installation is a landmark moment for us and for the industry. It proves that our technology can deliver transformative results at industrial scale, and we look forward to expanding this model across Europe."
