About Aqua’Tec Water Solutions
Water · Irrigation · Pumping · Export-ready supply
Aqua’Tec Water Solutions is the international project-oriented branch of Aqua’Tec, an independent French technical company supporting drinking water, irrigation, pumping and export-ready equipment supply.
Independent since 1995
Founded in 1995 by Jean-Marc Graciano, Aqua’Tec was built on practical technical work in water, irrigation, pumping and equipment supply.
After his passing in 2003, the company continued through the next generation. Today, Matthieu Graciano and Romain Graciano continue to develop Aqua’Tec while preserving its independent, practical and field-oriented approach.
Through Aqua’Tec Water Solutions, the company now brings this experience to international drinking water, irrigation and agricultural water projects.
Based in Vonnas, in the Rhone-Alpes region of France, Aqua’Tec is located close to major European industrial and logistics routes.

A practical and responsible approach
We believe that good technical work must be useful, honest and adapted to the people who will depend on it. Our role is not only to supply equipment, but to help project teams build practical, coherent and accessible solutions that make sense in real field conditions. Part of this approach is producing clear documentation and practical guidance so that equipment can be understood, operated and maintained by the teams who depend on it.
Integrity
We value honest technical dialogue, clear limits and responsible recommendations. We prefer useful solutions over unnecessary complexity.
Practical usefulness
Our work is judged in the field. Equipment must be understandable, maintainable and adapted to real operating conditions.
Respect for field realities
We pay attention to local constraints, budgets, logistics, maintenance capacity and the people who will operate the systems.
Independent and technically driven
As an independent company, Aqua’Tec is not tied to a single manufacturer or catalogue. We work with leading European manufacturers and technical suppliers to build coherent equipment packages adapted to project requirements.
Independent sourcing
Equipment selection based on project fit, performance and maintainability.
European manufacturer network
Access to proven technical suppliers and manufacturers across Europe.
Coherent equipment packages
Packages prepared as complete technical sets, not disconnected item lists.
Project-specific technical selection
Choices aligned with duty points, water quality, context and operating reality.
Where we have worked
Aqua’Tec has supported projects, equipment supply and export operations across tropical, island, African, European and developing-country environments.
Experience in development-funded project environments
Our team has experience working in project environments involving public institutions, development partners, contractors, consultants and international procurement frameworks.

Our main areas of work
Aqua’Tec operates through two main departments—Irrigation & Agriculture and Drinking Water & Treatment—with Solar Pumping Support as a focused support capability for on-farm irrigation, smallholder farmers and agricultural groups.
Irrigation & Agriculture
Open-field and greenhouse irrigation, protected agriculture, filtration and fertigation.
Drinking Water & Treatment
Public supply, pipework, pumping, treatment steps, storage and distribution.
Solar Pumping Support
Accessible solar pumping support for small-scale on-farm irrigation, farmer groups and agricultural associations, helping reduce dependence on small fuel-powered motor pumps.
A practical company, not a catalogue
Warehouse operations, loading, pipework and equipment readiness—evidence of how supply is prepared, not only sold.
