Like many of our clients, Waterform is a generational family business. The company has been wholly family owned since its inception.
Built on principles of hard work, trust and integrity, Waterform partners with similar-minded companies in the food processing sector to overcome water & wastewater challenges. Our practical approach is founded on years of project experience.
In the mid 1990s, Waterform’s founders were working long hours each day for the family’s bottled water production facility.
The team travelled daily before sunrise to a remote water well near Mt Moligal to collect tanker loads of pure water. This well tapped into the Loddon groundwater aquifer in the Central Goldfields region of Victoria, Australia.
The pure water was then distributed to a network of clients across Victoria.
With rapidly growing clientele, investment was made in new filtration and UV disinfection and our founders’ interest in water treatment technologies was born.
From this point, investment was made in water analytical technologies, a steam distillation plant and a de-ionisation plant for supplying pure water to pharmaceutical clients including Swisse Pharmaceuticals. Due to growing demand for Waterform services, the decision was made to offer advanced water treatment plants to the food processing market.
The company directors travelled globally to establish an invaluable network of strategic partners and suppliers. This journey ranged from a parts distribution warehouse in NZ, to a lecture by a Microwave UV expert, to the depths of Microdyn Nadirs’ membrane R&D facility in Weisbaden, Germany.
Waterform moved into a new warehouse to facilitate rapid company growth.

During the decade, Waterform doubled down on our core market strategy of designing, fabricating and constructing water and wastewater treatment plants for the food production and processing industry.
As the company grew organically, the size and range of our projects gradually from correction and disinfection to full-scale advanced biological water treatment and large-scale membrane filtration applications.
The impact of an El Nino drought in 2019-20 led many food producers to search for alternative sources of water, through treating untapped water sources or recycling wastewater.
Pictured: In 2019, Waterform designed and constructed Australia’s largest inland groundwater security plant in the food production industry, treating over 16 million litres per day.
In the 2020s, Waterform has consolidated its position as the food processing industry’s leading regionally focused water treatment company, with several keystone projects and strategic partnerships announced.
FlowCare (our operational advisory and consumables division) was established as a separate division to meet growing industry demand for technical resource on regional sites with site-critical water infrastructure.
In 2021, Waterform moved into a new production facility and warehouse. This has enabled us to house an ever-growing team, extend our in-house manufacturing capacity and expand our stock holding of critical spares and specialty chemicals.
