ANGEL wins Asian Technology Excellence Award for KFC water filtration

BANGKOK, THAILAND – ANGEL has been awarded the Sustainable Tech – Food & Beverage accolade at the 2026 Asian Technology Excellence Awards. The honor acknowledges ANGEL's nationwide water purification deployment for KFC Indonesia, providing localized, eco-friendly solutions for the country's varied water conditions. The Asian Technology Excellence Awards, organized by Asian Business Review, choose a solo winner per technology category and industry in every market, evaluating uniqueness and innovation, efficiency and impact, and dynamism.

For ANGEL, the KFC Indonesia project exemplifies an ability that resonates across the food and beverage sector. The company initiates on-site water quality testing and assessment, subsequently tailoring the configuration to actual inlet conditions. This method is supported by a commercial portfolio encompassing microfiltration, UV sterilization, and a local delivery and service structure.

This combination—rather than a solitary product—enables ANGEL to serve restaurant chains operating across diverse markets. Sustainability is integrated into this model through practical means. ANGEL works in harmony with existing pre-filtration systems, eliminating the necessity for equipment replacement, water supply modifications, and installation waste.

Treatment is customized according to actual water quality, ensuring sites receive the appropriate configuration. The modular design also reduces maintenance complexity and enhances long-term operating efficiency. For KFC Indonesia, this translated to enhancing water quality without disrupting daily operations, while keeping existing infrastructure operational.

The deployment strategy mirrors this approach. Restaurants with more challenging water conditions receive the C11 Microfiltration System along with UV sterilization, while sites with relatively stable inlet water can utilize UV sterilization alone. This scenario-based approach assists KFC Indonesia in maintaining consistent water quality across various cities and islands, reflecting how ANGEL collaborates with food and beverage customers globally.

In accepting the award, ANGEL's Assistant Vice President Annie Guo stated, "This award acknowledges the efforts of our teams and local partners in transforming technology into practical value for customers. It validates our strategy for international growth: understanding local needs, delivering the right solution, and providing robust support over time."

For ANGEL, responsibility persists post-installation. The KFC project illustrates ANGEL's broader commercial strategy, demonstrating that water purification can evolve from a functional utility to a strategic asset for operators. ANGEL's portfolio spans microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis, enabling tailored solutions for local conditions and customer requirements.

In markets where complex water conditions could otherwise hinder expansion, these capabilities promote safer operations, improved resource efficiency, and sustainable growth. The issuer bears sole responsibility for the content of this announcement.
