The Team behind Zahnen Technik GmbH

Since 2010, the right to access clean drinking water and sanitation is a recognised human right. Clean water is the basic requirement for all our lives.

Maintaining and constantly improving the quality of water is a responsible task that we face in every way, because everyone has the right to clean water. As freshwater resources become increasingly scarce, we are also focusing on conserving water resources. At the same time, we do not lose sight of the protection and sustainable use of other resources.

Our project management, the heart of Zahnen Technik, is the responsibility of Peter Wirtz. Project management includes the handling of several 100 reference wastewater treatment plants on an international level.

Without his many years of expertise in this field, our development steps in the past would not have been possible.

Our many years of experience in project management have resulted in our Water Engineering Performance, with which we accompany our customers nationally and internationally. With great ambition we drive the compliance of our processes in continuous exchange with the complete project management.

After more than 20 years with the company, we don´t want to work without his enormous expert knowledge.
