Investment rationale
Badger Meter is a leading player in the market for smart water meters. These meters measure the flow of water, but also of air, steam, oil and other liquids and gases through a pipe. The products are used in all kind of processes, from heating and filtering water in kitchen appliances like dishwashers and coffee makers, to industrial use in the beverage industry, where precision valves control the syrup, water and carbon dioxide in soft drink blending systems. Smart water meters enable utilities to accurately bill and inform consumers about their usage of water. This, in turn, enables both residential and commercial customers to track and control their use of water, encouraging efficient use and conservation and preventing waste.
