IFAT is, of course, about technology
But above all, it is about people. Throughout the week at IFAT, conversations revolved around future treatment requirements, technical solutions, quaternary treatment, sludge handling and energy efficiency — all at a pace only a trade fair hall in Munich can deliver. But what we bring home most of all are the conversations. We had the pleasure of being part of HUBER’s impressive 1,300 m² stand, surrounded by solutions and inspiration for the future of wastewater treatment — while at the same time experiencing something truly special: A remarkable number of Danish visitors stopped by. The week was filled with professional discussions, knowledge sharing, laughter, networking and reunions with customers, partners and industry colleagues alike. It means more than you sometimes manage to express during a busy week at a trade fair. A big thank you to everyone who took the time to visit us. We are heading home with tired feet and plenty of new ideas.
MiniSkills 2026: Welding, slush ice and curious students
There was plenty of action when Aquagain took part in MiniSkills in Medius Holsted on April 16. Our stand was buzzing all day as curious 7th grade students threw themselves into welding simulators, hands-on activities – and yes, plenty of slush ice. The welding simulators – provided in collaboration with the Danish Knowledge Centre for Automation and Technology – were a huge hit, and many students had their very first “welding experience” in a virtual setup, where they could test their skills without smoke or sparks.
A new chapter in Aquagain’s history
development. Aquagain has become part of B+ Invest – a family-owned investment company with a focus on long-term development. On Wednesday, we marked the occasion together – with cake, sparkling wine, and speeches – celebrating both our 70-year history and the beginning of a new chapter. Even though not everyone could be physically present, the sense of community was strong. Colleagues on site – both in Denmark and Norway – and on projects joined via Teams, and fortunately, there was cake everywhere so everyone could take part in the celebration. It was a day filled with pride, presence, and a warm, genuine atmosphere – exactly as we know Aquagain. For us, this is about building on what we already are: strong competencies, dedicated employees, and close relationships with customers and partners within industry, water, and wastewater. We have welcomed strong new profiles to the team: Steen Buhl Larsen has joined as CEO and Peter Eskelund as CCO, and they are now part of the executive management alongside Aslak Skjøth and Poul Madsen. The Aquagain story continues – and we look forward to the next chapter.
A Man You Don’t Let Go – 25 Years with Martin
In January 2001, a collaboration began that this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. At the time, it may have been a quiet date in world history – but at Aquagain, it marks the beginning of 25 years with Martin Eriksen. Martin started as a welder and installer – both the man in the workshop and the man on-site with customers. A role that requires more than technical skill; it demands overview, responsibility, and the ability to represent the company professionally. That combination has defined Martin throughout the years.
