French water treatment and disinfection specialist BIO-UV Group has reported revenues of €20.1 million for the first half of 2026, driven by strong export activity and expanding service revenues.

The group's Services and After-Sales division recorded 10 percent revenue growth compared with the same period in 2025, underpinned by expansion in its installed equipment base. The growth was driven by export activity, stabilisation in the maritime retrofit market, and sustained momentum in fisheries and aquaculture, where segment revenues rose by €0.6 million.

Operational highlights in early 2026 included securing a major contract for a water treatment and disinfection project with a global salmon producer in Iceland, which is currently under implementation. Looking ahead, the Lunel-headquartered group expects organic growth to continue throughout 2026, supported by export-led aquaculture projects, ongoing maritime activity, and demand for municipal and industrial wastewater solutions.

As of mid-July 2026, the Group’s order backlog is slightly higher than at the same point last year, with an increased pipeline of opportunities in export markets.
