Hidro Solo celebrates 45 years: a history of innovation in irrigation and water treatment

In September 2026, Hidro Solo celebrates 45 years of a journey marked by technology, innovation and the ability to keep pace with market transformations. Almost half a century after its foundation in 1981, in Maceió, Alagoas, the company reaches this milestone not only by looking at the path it has traveled, but, above all, at everything that is still to be built.

The beginning of a journey in irrigation

Hidro Solo’s history began with the manufacture of components for irrigation systems, at a time of strong expansion in sugarcane and the sugar-energy industry in Alagoas. Over the decades, the company expanded its portfolio and began developing complete filtration solutions for drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation, especially sand filters and filtration systems.

A new chapter in water treatment

In 2009, Hidro Solo began a new phase of its journey by entering the water treatment segment. Since then, the company has continued to expand its portfolio with solutions such as PLUVITEC® Blocks and Crepinas, the Metallic False Bottom, filtration systems and backwash automation.

Technology that continues to evolve

Today, this experience is reflected in an increasingly technological portfolio. In irrigation, the company offers filtration solutions and components focused on system efficiency. In water treatment, its products reflect a continuous path of development and innovation.

This evolution is also visible in the company’s new technologies. HidroTurb, for example, expands Hidro Solo’s capabilities by bringing the Smart Water concept together with instrumentation, continuous monitoring and IoT technology to monitor water quality in real time.

Brazil and Latin America

This evolution also follows the expansion of the brand. With solutions present throughout all regions of Brazil and growing operations in Latin America, Hidro Solo strengthens its position in two strategic markets: irrigation and water treatment.

45 years built by people

At the forefront of this journey, founding partner José Alcantara represents the vision that gave rise to the company: resilience, ethics, focus and continuous innovation. Over the years, this experience has been complemented by professionals such as Joeli Oliveira, who leads the Irrigation segment, and Flávio Alcantara, responsible for the Water Treatment area.

At 45, Hidro Solo begins a new chapter: more technological, connected and prepared for the challenges of the next 45 or 50 years. Because building the future also means knowing how to evolve without losing your essence.
