The Gelsenwasser AG (proper spelling: GELSENWASSER), headquartered in Gelsenkirchen is one of the largest drinking water supply company in Germany. In addition to the water supply division, the company is also involved in the sewage and electricity and gas supply sectors .
Company profile
The company, founded in 1887 as a waterworks for the northern Westphalian coal district AG , belongs to the Dortmund and Bochumer Stadtwerke , which took over the majority shares from E.ON AG in 2003 . Since then, the shareholding has been as follows: 92.9% Wasser und Gas Westfalen GmbH (50% Stadtwerke Bochum Holding, 50% Dortmunder Stadtwerke) and 7.1% free float .
Although the main supply area ( Haltern waterworks ) is in Westphalia between the Ruhr and Lippe, Gelsenwasser has stakes in water supply and disposal throughout Germany as well as in Poland and the Czech Republic. Other focal points of the activities are energy supply - especially natural gas and electricity - as well as services related to water and energy. Customers are households, municipalities, utility and industrial companies. Gelsenwasser is active in the water and energy supply as well as in wastewater disposal in more than 70 cities and communities. There are also partnerships with around 30 supply companies that receive drinking water or natural gas for their customers.
The company has been based in Gelsenkirchen since 1887 and the head office has been on Willy-Brandt-Allee (formerly Balkenstrasse) since 1962. One of the administration buildings, a so-called glass cube (see picture), has received several architectural awards.
