Celebrating 50 years In 2026, SEKO is celebrating a proud half century serving the cleaning and hygiene and water and industry markets with our dedicated pump and control solutions.

Since being acquired by the late Lorenzo Folio in 1995, SEKO has developed into one of the world’s leading chemical dosing and dilution systems manufacturers, with 23 subsidiaries serving a vast global market.

Amid this spectacular growth, SEKO has never forgotten its roots, with the company’s headquarters still based in our founding town of Rieti’s famous ‘pump valley’ where it all began 50 years ago.

The site hosts functions as varied as R&D, sales, technical support and, of course, manufacturing, with each department collaborating to take our solutions around the world.

A family owned and run business, SEKO today operates under the leadership of Lorenzo’s son Stefano Folio, CEO, maintaining the values associated with the business as we continue to solve the market’s greatest challenges.

SEKO will be marking the milestone with a series of posts on our LinkedIn account through the rest of 2026, so make sure you follow us by clicking here.

SEKO Middle East heading to CMEC 2026 SEKO Middle East is delighted to announce our return to the Clean Middle East Convention this September.

Rapid growth in the tourism, hospitality and healthcare sectors means the Middle East is one of the fastest-growing markets for professional hygiene, laundry and dishwashing solutions, making CMEC 2026 the ideal platform to strengthen our presence in the UAE and GCC.

SEKO Middle East comprises a local sales team, warehouse and technical support and we are excited to meet customers and partners to explore new opportunities together.

For more information and latest news from our Middle East operations, follow the SEKO Middle East LinkedIn account.

The exhibition will be held at JW Marriott Marina, Dubai from 23 to 24 September, with SEKO Middle East to be found at booth C300. The stand will include examples of products from across our laundry, warewash and surface-cleaning ranges such as the award-winning LS100, WareDose 35 and ProMax.

SEKO joins workplace health network In July, SEKO was greatly honoured to be welcomed into the Lazio WHP (Workplace Health Promotion) network – recognising the company as an organisation that prioritises the health and wellbeing of its employees.

Membership of this exclusive group is gained by actively encouraging healthy living, a balanced diet and the prevention of chronic illness as well as support for avoiding addiction, with studies proving that the WHP model is a key factor in improving employee health, reducing sickness absence and enhancing productivity.

Joining the Lazio WHP reflects SEKO’s continuing investment in its people, with our Rieti headquarters alone employing and developing around 380 locally based staff across functions such as manufacturing, sales, technical and R&D. The Rieti branch of Italian business association Federlazio expressed its pleasure at SEKO’s achievement, with President Alberto Cavallari saying: “The recognition SEKO has received is a source of great satisfaction for our entire region. Companies that invest in the well-being

of their people build stronger, more attractive organisations that are better able to face the challenges of the future. We are proud… to see an organization like SEKO stand out for its sensitivity, vision and capacity for innovation.”

SEKO Colombia hosts internal training This summer, the SEKO Colombia team received an invaluable in-depth training session, combining not only technical learnings but also a communication skills workshop as part of the team’s continuous development.

With the final quarter of 2026 in sight, this was the ideal opportunity to reinforce knowledge and transfer new skills – maximising the year’s remaining possibilities and preparing for new challenges in 2027.

For the technical aspect, attendees received training on systems from across SEKO’s cleaning and hygiene and water and industry ranges, including our Tekna solenoid-driven dosing pump, Kontrol Series controllers and WareDose warewashing systems.

Following this, a superb seminar delivered learnings on key skills for both internal and external communications – not only helping to ensure customers’ needs are always understood, but also improving efficiency between teams to create a positive working environment where ideas are shared and debated and problems solved swiftly and effectively.

Bringing IoT to swimming pool management During the busy summer swimming pool season, SEKO’s dedicated chemical dosing systems have been fitted around the world, including this example from an independent installer in Romania.

For the dosing and measurement of pH, ORP, chlorine and temperature in the pool, the technician chose a SEKO KemiDose Double unit from our extensive range.

Designed for larger pools up to 350 m³, KemiDose Double includes two solenoid-driven dosing pumps with an automatic proportional dosing feature that ensures chemical parameters are finely balanced for a safe, healthy swimming experience.

As well as a multi-language menu, wizard probe calibration and galvanic insulation, KemiDose Double offers connectivity to the SekoLink app and online platform for on-demand access to parameter data. Designed for end users, SekoLink allows the owner to start and pause dosing as well as check the health of their pool 24/7 from any location.

Protecting cooling tower water quality SEKO’s global experience in cooling water treatment was again called upon as we supplied chemical dosing pumps to a project for ChemAqua Europe in Spain.

The operator was seeking a solution to cooling tower infill fouling – a common challenge that can cause equipment damage and high energy consumption if remedial action is not taken.

Infill is the packing material within a cooling tower where hot water and air mix – maximising heat transfer by distributing water across thin sheets or droplets which accelerates evaporation.

The downside to this method is that the close proximity of the infill sheets means they are vulnerable to clogging with mineral deposits and dirt if not kept properly clean. Fouled infill reduces thermal efficiency, putting greater strain on equipment and in turn raising energy use.

By injecting an inhibitor into the cooling water, Chem-Aqua could ensure that infill was kept clear of contaminants between biannual cleaning – with SEKO’s Tekna solenoid-driven dosing pumps selected to serve the site’s six cooling towers with their signature precision, consistency and reliability.
