OSMOTECH upholds the development philosophy of "continuous innovation for healthy living environments".

Founded in 1961 • Originating from Germany
In 1961, Mr. Gerhard Pöhlmann founded Georg Bergmeier GmbH in Freilassing, Germany. With the goal of “healthy living environments”, the company has dedicated itself to the research, development, design and application of moisture and damp control technologies for concrete structures. Right from its founding, it obtained the commercial license for the Ernst & Traber electro-osmosis wall dehumidification patent, providing systematic moisture control, dehumidification and mould prevention solutions for “integrated building environments”.
Independent Innovation • World First
In 1987, the team successfully developed the world’s first wireless wall drying system, enabling “no construction required, ready to use upon installation” for the first time. Having undergone rigorous laboratory testing and long-term market validation, the products have successively obtained the TÜV SÜD SAFE certification for human safety (one of the world’s strictest testing authorities) and European TÜV certification. With advantages including easy installation, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, zero noise and zero pollution, they have been top sellers in European and American markets for more than 30 years.
Dual-Line Strategy • Deep Roots in Asia
In 2011, OSMOTECH entered the Chinese market through authorized representation, operating under a multi-brand strategy featuring OSMOTECH, OSMOTERRA and GEORG BERG. Since entering China, its products have been procured and used by government agencies, enterprises and public institutions, health and wellness centres, and widely applied in hotels, hospitals, villas, factories, temples, archives, warehouses, apartments and various other spaces.
Looking to the Future • System Upgrade
In 2024, OSMOTECH launched an integrated moisture, dehumidification and mould prevention system, including Wall Dehumidifiers and inverter air-purifying dehumidifiers. Building on its core strengths of “no construction, ready to use, low noise and low energy consumption”, the brand has achieved a leap from “wall dehumidification” to “healthy integrated air and wall environments”. Going forward, OSMOTECH will continue to focus on developing products for healthy living environments, enabling more families to enjoy the freshness and well-being brought by technology.

Historical development
  • 1807

    1806 Professor Reuss discovers, that water can be influenced. lf you fill water into a U-shaped test-tube, the surface of the water on both sides is always at the same level.

    But if you apply voltage,water moves from plus to minus

    With this discovery he created the very basics for many various applications in modern industry,medicine and in sanifying of buildings

  • 1900

    The Earl of Schwerin used this physical priciple, to dry peat faster,He lets pile up peat and add selectrical wires..Because of to the applied voltage water moves from plus to minus.Peat gets dry.

  • 1930

    The Swiss Erst and Traber utilize Earl of Schwerin's ldea.
    Water always moves from”+”to“-”
    So they think, this must also work in Brickwork.
    They utilze the principle of Electroosmosis, fasten 2 leads and apply voltage.

    Masonry gets dry

  • 1961

    Gerhard Perlemann, President of Bergmeier GmbH (the predecessor of OSMOTERRA), learned that Ernst and Professor Traber owned this patent, which was complementary to his existing moisture prevention and dehumidification business.

    He then applied for and obtained the world's first commercial license for the electro-osmosis method, initiating the commercial application of this technology and focusing on moisture prevention and dehumidification in concrete buildings.

  • 1987

    with the support of Nobel Laureate Professor Richard Ernst, Bergmeier GmbH successfully developed the world's first wireless electro-osmotic Wall Dehumidifier.
    It requires no construction, is harmless to the human body, and pioneered the field of
    "non-intrusive building dehumidification".

  • 2011

    OSMOTERRA (later renamed OSMOTECH) entered the Chinese market through authorized agents.

  • 2019

    OSMOTECH GmbH has relocated its headquarters and R&D center to Austria, while retaining its production facility in Germany. It has also established a direct office in China to further strengthen local service and support in the Chinese market.

  • 2024

    OSMOTECH, taking into account climate and environmental changes and based on the characteristics of the Chinese market environment, has launched a moisture-proof, dehumidifying and mildew-removing system, which includes Wall Dehumidifier and Inverter air purification dehumidifier, among other products. This system features no need for construction, ready-to-use upon installation, low noise, and low energy consumption.

Successful Elektroosmosis

Gerhard Pöhlmann,former CEO of the Bergmeier-Company was very successful during decadesin dehumidify buildings and today he is counsellor of OSMOTERRA(The predecessor of OSMOTECH ) which he considers as the legitimate successor of his work.

Prof.Dr.med.PhD,MD lvan Engler,Founder of the 102TH Oxygentherapy together with Prof.v.Ardenne.published more than 10 scientific books on the topic water and oxygen and is highly appeciated incircles of experts.Besides,he is owner of an OSMOTERRA wall-dehumidifying system for his cellarandhe mentors our work on scientific basis.
