MDM Background

Founded in Johannesburg by a team of visionary water chemists and engineers, MDM Hydro Technologies was born from the urgent need to transform Africa’s outdated water treatment systems.

Recognising the inefficiencies of conventional methods – excessive chemical use, uncontrolled sludge generation, and reactive maintenance. We pioneered a new approach that merges advanced chemistry with digital intelligence.

From the start, MDM redefined industry standards by integrating science, technology, and sustainability. Our SANAS-accredited mobile labs brought rigorous testing to remote sites, ensuring continuous compliance beyond traditional sampling.

Modular treatment plants delivered clean water faster to underserved communities, and zero-liquid-discharge systems revolutionised mining and industrial wastewater recovery.

These innovations didn’t just optimise processes, they turned treatment facilities into strategic assets, recovering value from every drop.

Today, MDM stands as a leader in smart water solutions, trusted by municipalities and industries across Southern Africa. We’ve enabled food processors to cut costs by millions, mines to recycle billions of litres, and cities to achieve real-time regulatory confidence. Yet our mission continues.

At MDM, we don’t just treat water, we engineer resilience, empowering Africa’s communities and industries with sustainable, future-ready solutions.
