Hyflux Limited SGX: 600 began in 1989 as Hydrochem (S) Private Limited, a trading company selling water treatment systems in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia and later, China. It is perhaps best known for being largely responsible for the technology behind Singapore's water recycling plants, whose output has been named "NEWater".

Hyflux technologies are based in the use of Semipermeable membranes and reverse osmosis and are capable of extracting potable water from residual, seweage and salt waters. Consumer products like water dispensers that extract humidity from the air, tap filters and water pitchers are also available.

A little more than a decade after its creation, Hyflux Ltd, became the first water treatment system company to be listed on SESDAQ in January 2001. In April 2003, it was upgraded to the Singapore Exchange’s mainboard, again making history as the first water treatment company to be listed on the mainboard. The Group has also expanded its footprint in recent years. In addition to a thriving presence in China and Singapore, the Group has also successfully penetrated the lucrative Middle Eastern market, with tie up with Dubai based Istithmar Group. Ahead, the Group is setting its sights on India , Southeast Asia and Africa.

The group is headed by Olivia Lum.
