We are a third-generation privately owned family enterprise with headquarters in Baar, Switzerland, and regional offices in Europe, North and Latin America, the Middle East, South East Asia and Australia.
GUTERMANN has specialised in the design, manufacturing and distribution of all conventional acoustic leak detection equipment for more than 60 years. With a constant focus on innovation, we have often been at the forefront of new product developments in our sector. We are constantly pushing the boundaries of water leak management technology, and continuously outmatch our competitors and immitators. Thanks to our tireless commitment to product quality, functionality and user-friendliness, GUTERMANN has become a synonym for precision, quality and reliability in leak detection technology worldwide.
Our Vision
Our Vision
GUTERMANN aims to shape the future. We lead the development of intelligent water technologies that help reduce the loss of potable water due to inefficiencies in our infrastructure and therefore preserve water as the world's most valuable resource. GUTERMANN is a clean-technology leader that ultimately allows people to have a better life in a more sustainable society.
GUTERMANN has often been the first to introduce a new technology or advanced technical features. For the last 10 years we have put tireless efforts into realising our vision of a completely automatic, unmanned and permanent network monitoring system, one which allows the user to identify and pinpoint leaks - even small and difficult ones - anywhere in the water network. From the Control Room, the water loss manager can review, in real-time, his entire distribution network, and analyse problematic network districts and pinpoint existing and new leaks in seconds. Thanks to the powerful and attractive ZONESCAN NET user interface and measurement database, the operator can use invaluable current and historic network data to track the state of his pipe network, perform benchmarking between different sectors, thus helping to anticipate negative network events such as pipe breakages. The system allows the smart utility to take informed asset management decisions, such as optimal repair work and pipe replacement times. Smart cities use Intelligent Water Loss Management from GUTERMANN.
ZONESCAN NET, along with the newly released products ZONESCAN NBIOT and ZONESCAN NET, is our fixed network platform. Since the first few installations of ZONESCAN ALPHA, we have continued to hone and perfect both the hardware and the software. In 2010, after extensive testing by the client, GUTERMANN delivered the largest such permanent network monitoring installation in the world to a country in the Gulf region. At the same time, a city in Germany scaled up their successful pilot site to cover the entire city network. Within days of installation, the system found a massive leak. Over the course of the next month, leaks found and repaired paid back for the costs of the system entirely. The results were striking, and have continued to impress. In 2021, Zonescan NBIOT saw successful installations in Lebanon, PA, and Logan, Australia, to name only two. Read more about our success stories in the Success Story section.
