In Conversation With: Aman Sohl (Business Development Manager, Membracon)

When did you start at the company??

I joined Membracon in September 2019.?

Tell us about your job role. What does it involve on a day-to-day basis??

I’m the Business Development Manager and a Non-Executive Director at Membracon. My role involves developing the business from multiple angles. As an economist at heart, I love exploring how we can approach challenges differently and scale our operations strategically.?

Since joining Membracon, I’ve focused on steering the company toward innovation—both internally and in addressing unique client challenges. This includes expanding our portfolio with cutting-edge technologies and broadening our expertise.?

When I started, Membracon’s primary focus was the e-coat line. By 2025, we’ve evolved into a complete water engineering solutions provider. Recently, we’ve also expanded into gas separations, further diversifying our capabilities.?

So, in short, no two days in my role are the same!?

What are your most important goals for 2025??

I’m passionate about water engineering and its potential to address global water insecurity. Billions of people around the world lack access to clean water and sanitation. It’s an issue I find unimaginable and one I’m determined to help tackle.?

Water is the foundation of life and production—everything we use, from our favourite foods to the cars we drive, requires purified water at some stage of its creation.?

For 2025, my primary goal is to contribute meaningfully to improving both domestic and international water security. If Membracon can make a positive impact, I’ll consider 2025 a successful year.?

What’s the best and worst thing about working at Membracon??

The best thing is the team culture and alignment. Everyone here is focused on advancing our sector and understanding the vital role pure water plays. It’s an honour to be part of a team that’s committed to something bigger than all of us.?

And the worst thing? Josh, are you trying to get me in trouble?!??

What are the most important issues Membracon is working to resolve??

Water security is at the heart of everything we do. Our focus lies in applying our water engineering expertise to solve critical challenges:?

1. Environmental Responsibility: Ensuring industries and utilities minimize their impact on the environment, enabling humanity to coexist harmoniously with nature.?
2. Sustainable Industry: Supporting the healthy existence of UK industries by combining production with environmental consciousness.?
3. Innovative Solutions: Tackling major challenges like carbon capture, energy security, and alternative energy projects (e.g., exploring ammonia energy derived from pig waste). Commercialising these projects has the potential to reduce emissions and enhance sustainable energy solutions.?

I’m excited about the future and proud to be part of solutions that address both environmental and industrial needs.?
