Water treatment plays a critical role across municipal, industrial and commercial sectors, supporting safe water supply, wastewater management, environmental compliance and operational efficiency.

As infrastructure demands grow and sustainability expectations increase, the industry is placing greater focus on treatment performance, odour control, filtration efficiency, water reuse and supply reliability.

From potable water and wastewater treatment through to industrial process water and environmental management, operators are under increasing pressure to maintain compliance, improve efficiency and keep critical systems running without disruption.

Redox supplies a broad range of chemicals, filtration solutions and specialty products used throughout the water treatment sector. Backed by global sourcing capability, technical expertise and strong local support, Redox works closely with customers to help address operational challenges across a wide range of treatment applications.

We spoke with Clement Bourgeois, Senior Business Manager, about the challenges shaping the water treatment sector, evolving customer requirements, and the technologies helping drive more efficient and sustainable water management.

Q: Water treatment covers a wide range of applications. How varied are customer needs across the sector?

The water treatment market is vast and highly diverse, with customer requirements varying significantly depending on the application.

Municipal operators are heavily focused on public safety, compliance and reliability, while industrial customers often prioritise asset protection, operational efficiency, water reuse and cost control.

The sector covers potable water, wastewater treatment, cooling towers, boiler systems, filtration, odour control and recreational water treatment. Each area brings its own technical challenges, performance expectations and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why are product quality, consistency and dependable supply so important?

Water treatment systems operate under strict operational and regulatory requirements, making consistency critical. Variations in chemical quality or interruptions to supply can lead to compliance issues, infrastructure damage, downtime and, in some cases, significant public health risks.

Customers need confidence that products will perform reliably every time they are used. That is why quality assurance, traceability and dependable logistics are essential in this industry.

Q: What types of products and solutions does Redox supply into the water treatment market?

Redox supplies a broad portfolio of chemicals, filtration media and specialty products across municipal, industrial and recreational water treatment applications.

Our range includes:

Redox also works closely with customers across sectors such as mining, manufacturing and food processing, providing technical guidance to help optimise water quality and plant performance.

Q: Where are you seeing strong demand for filtration media and adsorbents?

Demand for activated carbon and advanced filtration media continues to grow, particularly as customers respond to emerging contaminants and tightening environmental standards.

PFAS remediation is a major area of focus globally, with granular activated carbon widely adopted for the removal of long-chain compounds such as PFOA and PFOS. Customers are also investing in advanced filtration technologies to improve water reuse, environmental compliance and overall treatment efficiency.

Q: How important is odour control becoming for customers?

Odour control is becoming increasingly important as urban development places communities closer to wastewater facilities, industrial sites and waste management infrastructure.

Operators are under pressure to reduce odour complaints, protect worker safety and minimise infrastructure corrosion caused by gases such as hydrogen sulphide.

Customers are moving away from temporary masking approaches and looking for more advanced solutions that neutralise odours at a molecular level, including high-efficiency filtration systems, chemical neutralisation technologies and activated carbon systems.

Q: What do customers need from a supply partner beyond product availability?

Customers need more than product supply alone. They need responsive technical support, regulatory understanding, product consistency and confidence that materials will arrive on time.

Areas customers value most include technical application support, troubleshooting assistance, Certificate of Analysis documentation, traceable supply chains, contamination control and secondary sourcing options for critical products.

Reliability is essential because many treatment systems simply cannot afford unplanned downtime.

Q: What challenges are customers facing across the water treatment industry?

Customers are operating in an increasingly complex environment shaped by tightening regulation, aging infrastructure, climate variability, rising operational costs and supply chain uncertainty.

Many operators are balancing the need to upgrade systems and improve efficiency while continuing to maintain compliance and operational reliability.

Industrial water treatment and water reuse are among the fastest-growing areas of the market, with sectors such as chemicals, semiconductors and manufacturing investing in recycling and reuse systems as part of broader sustainability and water stewardship initiatives.

Municipal infrastructure upgrades are also driving growth as governments and utilities modernise aging treatment systems and invest in long-term water security.

Q: How does Redox help customers respond to these pressures?

Redox supports customers through a combination of global sourcing strength, local logistics capability and technical support.

With access to more than 7,000 manufacturers and over 1,100 active suppliers globally, Redox can diversify sourcing pathways and respond quickly during periods of disruption. Combined with more than 100 storage locations and capabilities across hundreds of global port pairs, this helps customers maintain continuity of supply even during volatile market conditions.

With more than 50 years of industry experience, Redox supports customers across potable water, wastewater and industrial treatment applications, helping deliver reliable supply, technical support and tailored solutions for a wide range of operational requirements.

Q: Looking ahead, where do you see the greatest opportunities for innovation and growth?

Advanced purification technologies represent one of the biggest growth opportunities across the sector. Tightening regulations around contaminants such as PFAS are driving increased adoption of activated carbon systems, advanced oxidation processes and membrane technologies.

Membrane systems such as ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis are also expected to see strong growth as industries and utilities continue investing in water reuse, treatment efficiency and long-term water security.

Supporting Essential Water Systems

As the needs of the water treatment industry continue to evolve, customers require more than product supply alone. They need reliable service, technical understanding and partners who can help them respond to changing operational and regulatory demands with confidence.

With broad product capability and an established presence across the sector, Redox is well placed to support customers operating across the water treatment market.

Redox thrives due to its broad and diverse workforce, where a wide range of specialties, from logistics and finance to marketing and leadership, keep the company moving forward. While many roles attract public attention, some of the most critical functions operate behind the scenes to ensure the business grows with discipline and control.

The importance of Quality Assurance cannot be overstated; it is the safeguard that protects the company’s reputation and its customers. Redox’s quality framework includes ISO 9001 certification, along with auditing, testing, regulatory oversight, supplier monitoring and broader compliance systems tied to food safety and ethical sourcing. As QA Manager Damien Barrett highlights, the role often involves “fighting fires,” where priorities shift rapidly across workflows, tariffs, and regulatory procedures.

Because the work is deeply connected to daily operations and global standards, finding the right candidates requires a focus on specific technical judgment. Recruitment for these specialised roles requires immense care, as they call for a precise mix of experience and capability. For candidates looking for more than just a job, Redox offers a fulfilling and rewarding career path in a professional and caring environment.

The ideal candidate is someone who possesses a keen eye for detail and a natural curiosity for complex regulatory landscapes, yet remains adaptable enough to pivot between workflows as priorities shift. They must value long-term stability and have the confidence to contribute ideas within an open, performance-driven culture. Joining Redox means becoming part of a winning, friendly team of over 460 employees across seven countries, all within a company recognised as a “Great Place to Work.”

Quality Assurance at Redox serves as a powerful testament to what the company offers its employees: work that truly matters. For those considering their next step, Redox provides a platform where the right people can build meaningful, long-term careers supported by competitive packaging and practical benefits. It is not only a place with jobs to fill; it is a place where you can belong to a team that values your growth as much as its own.

Last week, Redox brought together its Senior Leadership Team, Executive Committee, and Board for a two-day conference dedicated to strategic planning and leadership development. Throughout the event, participants engaged in thoughtful strategy discussions, explored new opportunities, and strengthened the leadership capabilities that will guide Redox into its next phase of growth.

Following the conference, Redox officially celebrated its 60th Anniversary with an unforgettable evening at The Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden. The stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for honouring this incredible milestone and reflecting on six decades of innovation, dedication, and success.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended. Each of you is an important part of the Redox family, and your commitment, passion, and support have helped shape our journey. This milestone belongs to all of us, and we look forward to continuing to build Redox’s success together.

In 2024, Redox conducted an employee engagement survey, which strongly affirmed our culture and the foundations that make Redox a great place to work. The outstanding results earned us a Great Place to Work certification, while also revealing areas for improvement that we are committed to addressing.

This certification was achieved through the valuable feedback provided by our employees, whose insights continue to guide us in making Redox an even better workplace. Their responses helped identify what we do well: a culture built on respect, safety, and opportunity while highlighting where we can grow to further strengthen our people-first approach. Importantly, this year, we have been able to obtain certification across Australia, New Zealand, and North America.

Building on that momentum, we are proud to announce that Redox has now been officially recognised as one of the Great Places to Work for 2025. This achievement reflects both the enduring loyalty of our people and our commitment to creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow.

As we strive for excellence, Redox has identified five key priorities that guide our journey:

To explore what makes Redox a truly great place to work, we asked our HR team to share their insights.

Culture & Recognition

What does being recognised as a Great Place to Work mean for Redox, and what do you think helped us achieve this milestone?

Being recognised as a Great Place to Work is a source of great pride for Redox. It reflects the positive culture, strong values, and shared commitment that define who we are as an organisation. This recognition reinforces that our people feel valued, supported, and connected to our purpose.

Our success in achieving this milestone is built on strong foundations, a culture of respect, open communication, and genuine care for our employees. By investing in our people, promoting collaboration, and maintaining a safe and inclusive workplace, Redox has created an environment where individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.

Which of Redox’s values do you believe most contributed to earning this recognition?

All of Redox’s values play an integral role in defining our culture and guiding how we conduct ourselves both internally and externally.

Together, they set the standard for how we collaborate, support one another, and deliver excellence to our customers. It’s this consistent commitment to living our values every day that has helped Redox earn recognition as a Great Place to Work.

Tenure & Retention

What is the average tenure of Redox employees, and what does this say about our culture and employee loyalty?

The average tenure of Redox employees is approximately nine years, which reflects the stability of both our workforce and the business as a whole. This longevity demonstrates the loyalty and commitment of our people, many of whom have grown and developed alongside the company. Our steady growth over time allows employees to see the tangible impact of their contributions, further strengthening engagement, retention, and pride in being part of Redox’s ongoing success.

How do we support career growth and development to encourage long-term commitment from staff?

A significant portion of our workforce has been with Redox for many years, reflecting the company’s ability to foster long-term commitment and loyalty. As our people have grown and evolved with the business, so too have their development needs.

We support career growth by maintaining open and honest discussions about the company’s direction, goals, and future opportunities. This ensures that employees understand how their personal development aligns with Redox’s strategic objectives. Through ongoing training, mentoring, and development initiatives, we help our people build the skills and capabilities needed to progress in their careers while contributing to the organisation’s long-term success.

Benefits & Flexibility

Beyond salary, what extra benefits do employees value most , such as work-from-home flexibility, training opportunities, or other perks?

How do these benefits reflect Redox’s commitment to work–life balance and employee wellbeing?

Redox recognises that our employees are vital to the organisation’s success. By understanding our workforce and its diverse needs, we’ve developed a range of benefits to support both professional growth and personal wellbeing.

Our flexible work arrangements allow employees to manage their personal and professional responsibilities better, promoting a healthy work–life balance. The provision of a paid daily lunch fosters social connection and convenience during the workday, while our Employee Assistance Program offers confidential support for mental health and wellbeing. In addition, our attractive bonus structure rewards dedication and performance, reinforcing a culture of recognition and appreciation.

Together, these benefits demonstrate Redox’s strong commitment to employee wellbeing and maintaining a balanced, supportive workplace.

Community & Giving Back

How does Redox encourage and support staff involvement in charity and volunteer work?

Redox sponsors a paid volunteer day for employees who wish to dedicate their time to a charity of their choice. Some of the organisations our people have supported include:

We are also proud supporters of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Chemical Education Foundation, and we host a number of charitable events throughout the year such as the Biggest Morning Tea, Jeans for Genes Day, and R U OK? Day.

Looking Ahead

How do the five priorities; diversity and inclusion, securing the right talent, employer brand, closing the gender gap, and safety, shape Redox’s strategy for the future?

The five priorities form the foundation of Redox’s long-term people strategy.

By embracing diversity and inclusion, Redox cultivates a workplace that values different perspectives and drives innovation. Securing the right talent ensures we continue to attract and retain skilled professionals who can support the company’s growth and adapt to evolving market demands. A strong employer brand enhances our reputation as a preferred workplace, helping us stand out in a competitive industry.

Closing the gender gap promotes fairness and equal opportunity while reflecting our commitment to equity and progressive leadership. Finally, maintaining a strong focus on safety safeguards our workforce and reinforces a culture of care and responsibility.

Together, these priorities position Redox to build a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready organisation that can sustain long-term success.

What challenges do you foresee in maintaining Redox’s reputation as a Great Place to Work as we continue to grow globally?

As Redox continues to expand, one of the main challenges will be maintaining the strong culture and foundations that support our growing and diverse workforce. Rapid growth across regions can make it difficult to ensure consistent communication while upholding our core values and sustaining a high level of engagement across all sites.

Another challenge lies in adapting our policies and benefits to suit diverse cultural expectations, legal frameworks, and market conditions while still delivering a cohesive employee experience. Ensuring leaders across the business embody our values and foster inclusive, supportive environments will also be essential.

To address these challenges, Redox will continue investing in leadership development, transparent communication channels, and initiatives that reinforce our shared culture regardless of location. By doing so, we can preserve what makes Redox unique while evolving into a truly global, people-centred organisation.

At Redox, we are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. As part of our ongoing efforts to minimise our environmental impact, we are proud to announce that starting March 2025, we have joined Agrecovery to provide a sustainable solution for recycling our product packaging.

About Agrecovery

Agrecovery is a not-for-profit charitable trust that offers New Zealand farmers and growers nationwide programmes for the responsible disposal of unwanted agrichemicals and the recycling of empty containers, drums, IBCs, and small seed, feed, and fertiliser bags. Their mission is to promote sustainable practices and improve environmental outcomes for rural communities by ensuring farm plastics are properly recovered, recycled, and reused.

What is Product Stewardship?

Product Stewardship is a proactive approach where manufacturers, brand owners, importers, and retailers take responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of their products. This extends beyond recycling—it encompasses the entire lifecycle of a product, from its design and use to its eventual disposal.

By embracing a circular economy model rather than a linear “make, take, and waste” approach, we can significantly reduce waste. Redox has committed to this initiative by supporting Agrecovery’s voluntary Product Stewardship Scheme, ensuring our packaging is collected and recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Redox Bags Now Accepted for Recycling

Through our membership with Agrecovery, we are pleased to offer a more sustainable solution for our customers. Eligible customers can now return certain Redox bags for recycling through Agrecovery’s Small Bags Programme.

This initiative allows small bags (25kg)  Woven PP plastic (number 5) to be recycled, provided they meet Agrecovery’s eligibility criteria.

The following 25kg products have been approved for recycling:

This collaboration reinforces our dedication to reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy. By making it easier for our customers to dispose of packaging responsibly, we are taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future.

At Redox, we believe in making a difference through our business and by giving back to communities in need. In 2021, we proudly established a philanthropic relationship with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to support their life-saving humanitarian work worldwide. Through ongoing donations and fundraising initiatives, we are honoured to stand alongside MSF as they provide critical medical care to those affected by war, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and exclusion from healthcare.

A Relationship Rooted in Compassion

Médecins Sans Frontières is an internationally recognised humanitarian organisation that delivers impartial medical aid in over 72 countries. Its teams operate on the frontlines of the world’s most pressing crises, providing emergency care in war zones, responding to epidemics, treating malnutrition, and ensuring that those without access to healthcare receive desperately needed assistance.

Redox’s commitment to MSF is more than just financial; it’s about aligning with an organisation that shares our values of integrity, compassion, and action. By supporting MSF, we empower their teams to respond rapidly to unfolding emergencies, ensuring high-quality care reaches those who need it most.

“We recognise that we must work in new ways to address the unprecedented challenges the world is facing,” said Redox CEO and Sales Manager Raimond Coneliano. “Redox is delighted and proud to be putting our commitment into action, and by supporting the dedicated team at Médecins Sans Frontières, we hope to make a fundamental difference to lives across the globe.”

The Impact of Our Support

The past year has demonstrated just how vital MSF’s work is. In 2024 alone, MSF teams have provided urgent medical aid to communities devastated by conflicts in Gaza and Sudan, responding to increasing humanitarian crises with unwavering dedication. Their teams have remained on the ground, treating patients despite ongoing violence, ensuring that critical medical assistance reaches those caught in the crossfire.

Thanks to continued support from donors like Redox, MSF remains independent and agile—ready to respond wherever and whenever they are needed. As we enter 2025, MSF teams are already hard at work delivering life-saving care, whether assisting refugees fleeing conflict, providing maternal healthcare, or combating the latest disease outbreaks.

One of MSF’s most heartwarming traditions is celebrating the first babies born in their hospitals at the start of the new year.

These new beginnings symbolise hope and resilience—reminders of why we support their mission. Each newborn delivered safely into the world is a testament to the impact of humanitarian aid and the generosity of those who make it possible.

Looking Ahead

Our relationship with MSF is just beginning, and we are excited to continue working together to ensure that urgent medical care reaches those in need. Through regular donations and fundraising programs, Redox remains dedicated to supporting MSF’s extraordinary efforts, helping to bring relief, healing, and hope to the most vulnerable.

To our team, partners, and customers—thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your support makes a difference, allowing MSF to continue their vital work worldwide. We look forward to another year of making a positive impact together.
