Ixom proudly supports local initiatives and sponsorships in the many communities it operates in globally.
These include:
Australia
Water Taste Competition
Ixom is the proud sponsor of the WIOA Water Taste Competition, which takes place in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria (Australia), with a national competition held at annually.
The competitions showcases our world renowned fresh and clean drinking water, which is supplied by water boards and authorities across the country.
Water samples are collected and tested from respective water boards and authorities with an overall winner for the best tasting water.
While the taste testing competitions is light-hearted and fun, there is a serious side to it.
This is a prestigious award, which is taken seriously by water boards and authorities who are taking part in the competitions.
Being able to open your tap and use water of high quality is something that is often taken for granted, especially in Australia.
The quality of water comes down to the experience and technology used by our water boards and authorities at water treatment plants all over Australia.
Ixom is proud to supply Australia’s network of water boards and authorities a full range of water treatment chemicals to ensure we continue to have world renowned, high quality water.
