ALMAWATECH was founded in 1999 by Gottlieb Hupfer and Gerhard Häring as Aquaplant GmbH in Stuttgart with the aim of designing water technology systems for industry and offering services for the construction of industrial water technology systems. The focus was on electrical engineering. After changing its name to AP System Engineering GmbH and relocating to Griesheim in 2011, the company established itself in the Darmstadt region and focused on working for a major supplier of industrial water technology.

In 2018, the company underwent a strategic change to become a full-service provider of plant technology and water chemistry products for end customers. The location was moved to Babenhausen and the name changed to ALMAWATECH GmbH. From now on, only direct services to end customers were offered and an extensive range of plant engineering solutions was developed together with research partners.

In 2019, the product range was greatly expanded with the acquisition of BHU Umwelttechnik GmbH in Leonberg. Since then, industries with large wastewater flows of up to 3,000 m³/h can also be supplied with proven system solutions.

In 2020, a competence center for water chemistry was founded in Essen/NRW.

Shortly after the company was founded in 1999, the founders began activities in Brazil, where the majority holding EcoALMA is now active in Londrina, Paraná. Agencies in Eastern Europe and Asia enable reliable support for international customers.

In 2024, the company now has around 50 of its own employees, in addition to a number of external employees and permanent partner companies who are deployed in the assembly and service area.
