Brief Introduction to KONZEN
In the early 2000’s, having evolved from Ionics which is now part of GE Infrastructure– the subsidiary of Ionics in Asia that eventually became KONZEN was restructured. The move formed an entity owned by a group of successful Asian entrepreneurs who are the current major shareholders.
To build a new Asian brand, the KONZEN name was created — in Chinese characters, 康升 means 'Uplifting Health' — the foundation of their environmental protection business.
KONZEN is now organized as a group of companies providing total solutions in the water industry. Whilst the brand is new, KONZEN has retained the core engineering teams and marketing staff that helped it achieve excellence in the water business since the 1980's. KONZEN has achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification in its engineering operations.
In the field of technology incubation, KONZEN is working closely with various Singapore government agencies to identify new solutions for Asian urban infrastructure. KONZEN is the first specialized water technology incubator in Asia.
Partnership with KONZEN
KONZEN set up their regional office at WaterHub in January 2008. This move brings to fruition the technology partnership that PUB has developed with research institutes, academic institutions and water-related companies. KONZEN’s test-bedding facilities and infrastructure are also housed at WaterHub.
