Sembcorp has been named the Water Company of the Year at Global Water Intelligence (GWI)'s 2011 Global Water Awards.

The top honour at the prestigious Global Water Awards, announced in Berlin last night, recognises the water company that has made “the most significant contribution to the development of the international water sector in 2010”. Sembcorp's wholly-owned energy and water arm, Sembcorp Utilities, beat other international water players to clinch the prestigious title

Sembcorp is a recognised international player in the global water industry, and owns and operates facilities in 32 locations across five continents. Its range of total water solutions includes wastewater treatment for both industrial and municipal clients, water reuse, desalination and water supply. Sembcorp’s water business marked a landmark year in 2010, with the growth of its global water capacity by almost 50% to over 6 million cubic metres per day of water with the acquisition of Cascal. With the acquisition, Sembcorp strengthened its standing as a provider of complete water and wastewater treatment solutions to both industrial and municipal customers, directly serving the water needs of over five million people worldwide.
