History

Watergen was founded in 2009 by entrepreneur and former military commander Arye Kohavi and a team of engineers with the goal of providing freely accessible water to troops around the world.[2]

Following the acquisition of Watergen by billionaire Michael Mirilashvili, in 2016, the company turned its attention to addressing water scarcity and responding to the needs of people in the aftermath of natural catastrophes.[3][4]

Since then, Watergen has created a series of products that are appropriate for a variety of applications, ranging from remote rural locations to commercial office complexes.[5] and private homes. It has been used around the world by armies[4] as well as the public and private sectors in the United States,[6] Latin America,[7][8] India,[9][10] Vietnam,[11] Uzbekistan[12][13] and the African continent.[14][15]

The company's headquarters are in Petah Tikva. It has a subsidiary in the United States.
