ProPetapa, a joint venture project with Dutch Clean Tech, is dedicated to supply clean potable water under long term contracts to EMPAGUA, the Municipal Water Supply Company of Guatemala City, and other major industrial users. It also provides non chlorinated water to industrial Concrete Cement mixing companies.

With Dutch Clean Tech the group is seeking major projects to treat wastewater from densely populated municipalities before it reaches Lake Amatitlán, the most important reservoir of fresh water of Guatemala City. The vision is to then take water from the lake; have it treated and make potable in order to sell it back to the same water utilities. The revenues from water sales would profitably cover the cost of the treatment plants.

What excites me about working at Dutch Clean Tech is being part of a talented and committed team with a shared purpose: using innovation and practical engineering to protect the environment and improve people’s lives. We want our technology to help make clean water, healthier surroundings and better living conditions a reality, particularly for communities that need them most. Working together to turn that ambition into practical projects with lasting benefits is what makes the work so rewarding.

Jim Latto
CTO Dutch Clean Tech

I have been a satisfied investor in this company for a number of years now.

Firstly, this company works in the water supply industry. How wonderful is that? Doesn't every person need clean drinking water?
Secondly, this company offers its investors an attractive and solid return.
Thirdly, the people who work at this company are very approachable. Any question may be asked, and good, useful suggestions from others are taken very seriously. Communication from the organisation is transparent and the lines are pleasantly short.

In short: as far as I am concerned, nothing but praise for Dutch Clean Tech.

Jan Paul
Investor, Dutch Clean Tech

We have met Dutch Clean Tech both in Guatemala and in Mexico. The Global Gateway strategy, as I have been explaining until now, is a strategy that aims to unite or build a public-private partnership to deliver public policy goals, for example, in water and sanitation, in circular economy, or, as we did in Quintana Roo, on the topic of sargassum.

There will be no collection or valorization of sargassum in Mexico unless there is a value chain. And to create a value chain, we need the private sector. What is the private sector?

Companies like Dutch Clean Tech that work precisely in the field of developing technologies that improve circular economy, and that enable the creation of a sargassum value chain that can even enhance the economy, energy, and more.

Dutch Clean Tech, it is a company that is very special because they not only sell water treatment plant equipment, but they also have a fund within the company to finance these projects and that makes this company very special.

Wilfred Mohr
Former Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Mexico.

Dutch Clean Tech is a very important company, which already has several projects in Mexico, now already evaluating several investment proposals in the state of Quintana Roo, together with our governor Mara Lezama and the CEO of Dutch Clean Tech, in order to work in the northern area of the state of Quintana Roo, grateful to them and well we are going to continue working to propose solutions regarding environmental issues in the state.

We want companies such as Dutch Clean Tech, or any other Dutch company with the capacity to invest, to commit so that next year we are not here talking about possibilities, but about agreements and concrete actions.

Climate change is something that requires the energy, the commitment, the will, and the joint effort of both Mexicans and Europeans, and also of companies, both European and Mexican. This week, we had the opportunity to work extensively on the issue of sargassum, a topic that is essential for Mexico, essential for the development of the entire Caribbean region. And in that regard, the key role we expect European companies to play, particularly Dutch Clean Tech, with its vision, responsibility, and innovative capacity that can contribute so much to the development of this country.

Francisco André
Ambassador, Head of the European Union Delegation to Mexico

Just over a year ago, we embarked on a mission to bring about change with one of the largest investments in private water distribution in Guatemala. Dutch Clean Tech was one of the few parties that believed in it from the start: through technical exchange and their support as one of our first investors, we gained the attention of investors, customers and partners. With Sander Pielkenrood, CEO of Dutch Clean Tech, as one of our ambassadors, we are broadening our goals towards more sustainable water solutions for our country. With a partner that has been delivering advanced water purification worldwide for more than 60 years, we are convinced that the results will soon become visible.
