61. Andreas Weissenbacher

Since 2014, Andreas Weissenbacher has served as the CEO of BWT AG (Best Water Technology), steering the company’s mission to revolutionise water treatment with sustainable, high-tech solutions. His influence spans across Europe, having also chaired BWT France SAS since 2003, while playing key leadership roles at BWT Wassertechnik GmbH in Germany and BWT UK Ltd. In addition, he sits on the Supervisory Board of Christ Water Technology AG, further cementing his legacy in the global water sector.

Weissenbacher’s leadership has not only accelerated BWT’s expansion across international markets but also transformed the company into a lifestyle brand advocating for clean water access. Central to this transformation is BWT’s high-visibility partnership with Formula 1, one of the world’s most-watched sports platforms.

As a major BWT Alpine F1 Team sponsor, Weissenbacher has cleverly used motorsport to amplify the company’s environmental message: “Change the world – sip by sip.” The eye-catching pink livery of the F1 car is now instantly associated with BWT’s commitment to sustainability and reducing single-use plastics. By aligning BWT with the speed, innovation, and global appeal of Formula 1, Weissenbacher has tapped into a unique opportunity to educate fans and consumers alike about the importance of water conservation—on and off the track.

In a sport known for its technological precision and relentless pursuit of performance, BWT’s mission fits naturally. Just as Formula 1 pushes boundaries on efficiency and innovation, BWT challenges conventional thinking in water purification. Together, they symbolize a powerful synergy between sport and sustainability.

Under Weissenbacher’s vision, BWT’s influence goes far beyond water filters—it’s about driving a global movement toward smarter living and responsible choices. Whether it’s a Formula 1 car racing at 300 km/h or a reusable BWT bottle in your hand, the goal remains the same: a cleaner, healthier planet for generations to come.
