Giovanni Drago, the Founder
AN ATYPICAL JOURNEY SERVING INNOVATION & THE ENVIRONMENT

Giovanni Drago, an unconventional visionary with a remarkable journey, has built a strong reputation in the industrial world thanks to his passion and boldness.

Born into a modest family, and as an Italian immigrant, he forged the first foundations of his determination on construction sites before embarking on a career as a professional drummer. This experience instilled in him a sense of harmony and precision—values that would guide his future choices.

More than 20 years ago, a decisive turning point led him to embrace a new career, still guided by his innate sense of harmony: that of an entrepreneur in the water treatment sector. A field he immediately became passionate about, approaching it through his own unique perspective. A self-taught innovator, Giovanni Drago founded his first company with the ambition of designing ecological and sustainable solutions to protect the health of future generations.

In 2011, this vision came to life with the creation of the DRAG’EAU Group—an enterprise that, under his leadership, has established itself on the international stage with a range of innovative and environmentally friendly products.

Today, the name DRAG’EAU resonates around the world, symbolizing a virtuous mission and a strong commitment to the future and to decarbonization.

Our strengths

Located in Alsace, inspired by our Swiss and German neighbors, DRAG’EAU has built the driving force of its business around two main objectives: reducing the environmental impact of water treatment and improving the energy efficiency of heating and cooling production systems.

Conventional solutions, based on chemical treatments and the use of magnetic rods, are not only polluting but also require the reminder extraction of costly resources such as rare earths, while generating contaminating discharges into wastewater networks and the natural environment.

DRAG’EAU’s natural water treatment solutions are designed to eliminate these environmental consequences, simplify the daily work of professionals, and ensure peace of mind for private individuals.

Over time, DRAG’EAU has established itself as the world leader in ecological alternatives within its sector, thanks to its patented technology that breaks away from conventional approaches.
