About Industrial
Water Cooling

The story of Tektower trading as IWC Industrial, began in 1994, when the Sulzer Group unbundled and the Tektower name was registered. For several years, the business continued to trade under the Sulzer identity, until 2007, when the Sulzer brand was discontinued and Tektower proudly stepped forward as the face of the company.

A new chapter unfolded in 2014 when Industrial Water Cooling (IWC) acquired Tektower. With this acquisition came a refreshed brand identity that aligned Tektower with the IWC master brand. The Tektower logo was updated to carry the IWC endorsement line and adopt its distinctive colours, symbolising strength, continuity, and innovation.

Since then, IWC Industrial (Tektower) has gone from strength to strength, building on its legacy to provide innovative cooling solutions not only across Africa but also in markets as diverse as Australia, Oman, and Kazakhstan. Today, IWC Industrial operates as part of NEXT Cooling Group, carrying forward a tradition of engineering excellence.
