SAWACO Water Desalination is a member of Saudi Brothers Commercial Group (SBCG) and a cornerstone in water-related activities of this Saudi-based Group. SAWACO is the first private water utility established in Saudi
Arabia under license by Ministry of Water in the year 2000 well before IWPP and PPP initiatives were launched.

SAWACO is certified by internationally recognized quality, environment, health & safety management systems and standards such as ISO9001: 2015, ISO14001: 2015, OHSAS
18001: 2007 & HACCP.

SAWACO currently owns over 50,000m³/d of desalination capacity, with its multi-plants under 24 hours operation. In June 2021, SAWACO launched its new decentralised business venture: SAWACO International Water, with 6x1,500m³/d compact SWRO plants and 4x1,000m³/d BWRO plants. These plants have begun
operation on a lease basis in KSA.

SAWACO has a sizeable fleet of trucks fitted with stainless steel tankers Grade 316-L conforming to HACCP requirement. The ample storage facility of Post-Tensioned Reinforced Concrete water tanks avoid ion exchange between water and tank, and the inner surface of the tanks are coated with food grade epoxy.

SAWACO produces and distributes water for different uses and customer classes. SAWACO assures that quality water surpasses standards set by World Health Organization and Saudi Arabian Standard Organization.

SAWACO’s line of business includes BOT and BOO solutions for the provision of desalinated water to both public and private sectors throughout the MENA region. In addition, Sawaco undertakes Operation & Maintenance of desalination plants all over the MENA region.
