Berson Is Now Nuvonic, What Changed and What It Means

If you are searching for Berson, you are in the right place, just under a new name. In April 2023, Berson, a well established name in UV disinfection, rebranded as Nuvonic, a unified brand bringing together four UV pioneers, Berson, Hanovia, Aquionics, and Orca. 

Why the change? Because global customers need more than strong regional brands, they need a consistent, scalable, and innovative partner. Nuvonic was launched to meet that need, combining decades of expertise across water,surface and air disinfection into one cohesive offering.

Whether you worked with Berson on municipal water systems, industrial UV treatment, or validated disinfection setups, this article will walk you through what has changed, what stayed the same, and how this benefits you going forward.

In this article, you will learn,
• Why Berson rebranded to Nuvonic
• What changed for customers, and what did not
• How Berson’s innovations live on in Nuvonic’s future

Let us dive in.

H2, History and Heritage of Berson

For decades, Berson was a trusted name in UV disinfection, especially in municipal and industrial water treatment. Based in the Netherlands, Berson built a strong reputation for high performance inline UV systems, particularly medium pressure solutions that deliver effectiveness with compact footprints. Its systems were widely adopted in drinking water facilities, wastewater reuse plants, and food and beverage production lines around the world.

Berson also stood out for its commitment to third party validation, with systems meeting rigorous international standards such as DVGW, ÖNORM and USEPA guidelines.

Before the rebrand, Berson operated under the umbrella of Halma plc alongside sister companies Hanovia and Aquionics. Each company served different regions or applications, but they shared overlapping technologies and values.

In short, Berson brought engineering excellence, European reliability, and deep domain knowledge to the UV market. While the name Berson is no longer in active use, its legacy lives on, embedded in Nuvonic’s systems, people, and innovation roadmap.

Why the Transition, Rationale Behind the Rebrand

Berson did not disappear, it evolved to become Nuvonic. The aim was to bring Berson’s strengths into one global brand.

Why make this move? Because the market and customers demanded more than regional brands could offer,
• One point of contact worldwide
• A streamlined prroduct rangeacross water, air, and surface disinfection
• Global service standards and support regardless of location

As Alex Langston, Managing Director of Nuvonic, explained,
“By launching Nuvonic, we are excited to bring a comprehensive range of UV based solutions for water, surface, and air disinfection to the global market, being the first of our kind in the industry, we are excited to pave the way for new and innovative solutions that will revolutionise the market and set a new standard for excellence in full facility disinfectant.”

With this consolidation, data, feedback, and innovation from every region, Europe, the Americas, and Asia, feed into a single R and D engine. Nuvonic now acts as a streamlined, more responsive organisation, reducing duplication and enabling faster product development. This is not about erasing history, it is about fulfilling it.

What Changed, and What Did Not, for Berson Customers

Since April 2023, Berson has officially operated under the Nuvonic name. As of 2025, the transition is complete, and while the logo and website have changed, the essentials have not.

Here is what that means for you,

Same systems, same support, new name. Existing Berson UV systems are fully supported. You can obtain spare parts, validation services, technical documentation, and expert help through Nuvonic’s global support infrastructure.

Brand migration, not product obsolescence. Berson product lines have been folded into Nuvonic’s offering. Naming conventions and documentation have been updated where relevant, but system functionality and certifications remain valid. 

 Stronger, faster service. Reach and responsiveness have improved. Nuvonic has harmonised service across regions, with broader expertise, faster response times, and global spare parts logistics. Tools like Nuvonics UV Connect unit support remote monitoring and service.

If you are looking for Berson, you have already found it, it is Nuvonic.

What Nuvonic Brings That Berson Alone Could Not

Berson was a leader in UV disinfection, and Nuvonic expands that leadership in ways no single brand could before.

Here is what the transition unlocked,
• Full spectrum UV expertise. Nuvonic now delivers solutions for water, surface, and air disinfection in one portfolio, integrating capabilities from Hanovia, Aquionics, and Orca.
• A stronger innovation pipeline. Shared R and D accelerates new products, including energy efficient UV systems, digital service platforms such as UV Connect, and validated solutions that address emerging contaminants.
• Global service and logistics. Berson’s regional strength in Europe is now reinforced by global warehousing, Reliable support, whenever you need it most and unified customer support across continents.
• Streamlined product range. Customers benefit from simplified system selection, consistent documentation, and a broader range of options, all under a single brand with global certifications.
• Scalable solutions for global customers. Whether you are designing a municipal drinking water plant in the Netherlands or upgrading a food processing facility in Mexico, Nuvonic delivers consistency, validation, and speed at scale.

Put simply, Nuvonic builds on Berson’s legacy, and goes far beyond it.

Berson’s Technical Legacy and How It Lives On

Although the Berson name is retired, its technology powers many of Nuvonic’s solutions today.

Here is how Berson’s innovations live on,
• Inline UV systems. Berson was known for inline reactor designs, including the ProLine family. These compact, energy efficient systems for drinking water, wastewater, and industrial reuse continue within Nuvonic, with updated model names where applicable.
• Medium pressure UV expertise. Berson specialised in medium pressure lamp systems that suit high flow applications and smaller footprints. This expertise is embedded in Nuvonic’s current range, especially in regions where Berson had strong presence.
• Validated performance. Berson prioritised third party validation, with systems certified to standards such as DVGW, ÖNORM, and USEPA. Nuvonic continues this commitment, offering validated systems built on the same engineering DNA, for example ProLine PQ IL.
• Municipal and industrial applications. Berson’s experience with utilities, breweries, food manufacturers, and pharmaceutical plants remains core to Nuvonic’s customer base. Many systems in the field carry Berson’s engineering fingerprints, and Nuvonic will support them for years to come.

This is not just legacy for its own sake, it is proven performance carried forward, and enhanced, by a global team.
