ACO Severin Ahlmann GmbH & Co. KG services

ACO is a leader in innovative infrastructure solutions. ACO Civil Engineering systems are used on a huge range of transport surfaces. Their innovative technologies are oriented to satisfying tomorrow’s more stringent demands: growing traffic levels, changing environmental conditions, responsible water management, and overall economic efficiency.

ACO plays a part in the creation of modern and sustainable architecture thanks to its protective construction elements and drainage systems for private and commercial construction projects –specifically for house, cellar and garden components. With the highest standards of functionality and design, the construction systems provide solutions along the whole ACO System Chain. They collect water, release it in a controlled way, at the same time as effectively protecting cellars against the penetration of water.

In its Building Services Division, ACO combines drainage elements to create sustainable solutions for private homes and office buildings, as well as for industrial kitchens, hotels and commercial property. Every part of the ACO System Chain is covered. The Building Services products collect the water from flat roofs, paved areas and bathrooms, and clean it as required depending on the level of water contamination. They also provide backflow protection and ensure the controlled release of water from buildings.
