Among the largest wins, Veolia secured two contracts with a major semiconductor manufacturer worth a combined €243 million (approximately $280 million). One contract covers ultrapure water production for a new fabrication facility in Singapore. The other covers advanced wastewater reclamation and zero liquid discharge treatment at a manufacturing site in the United States. Together, the two deals span the full water cycle for microelectronics clients, from producing the ultrapure water used in chip fabrication to treating and reusing wastewater afterward. Veolia said the contracts reflect the role water technologies play as a growth driver under its GreenUp strategic plan, which has named microelectronics a priority market.

Veolia said it sees itself as well positioned to serve manufacturers as chip production diversifies and reshores across different regions. Anne Le Guennec, CEO of Veolia’s water technology activities, said the deals demonstrate client confidence in the company’s ability to deliver solutions that support responsible scaling. “This is exactly what GreenUp is about, positioning water technologies as a driver of operational performance and profitable, sustainable growth,” she said. Semiconductor fabrication and data centers require large volumes of ultrapure water and produce complex wastewater streams, a challenge the company says is intensifying as chip manufacturing takes on greater strategic and geopolitical importance. Veolia cited projections that demand for data center capacity will nearly triple by 2030. Veolia has set a target of €1 billion ($1. 15 billion) in annual revenue from data centers and microelectronics by 2030, drawing on capabilities in ultrapure water production, wastewater treatment, water reclamation, local energy and hazardous waste management.
