Going With The Flow: A Closer Look At McCrometer's Acquisition Of Hach Flow

In a strategic move aimed at bolstering the municipal flow monitoring market, McCrometer has officially taken the reins of the Hach Flow product line from Hach. This transfer signifies a major shift in the flow meter manufacturing landscape and opens up new avenues for innovation and service in the field of open-channel flow monitoring.

Hach Flow engineers products and services primarily designed for open channels and collection systems. It has long been recognized for its proficiency in serving the complex needs of open-channel wastewater flow monitoring. For years, Hach Flow’s products and services fit the overall Hach focus on “measurement as a service,” recognizing the growing demand for comprehensive service offerings in flow monitoring and sampling. The idea was to bundle equipment, services, and an uptime guarantee, all for a monthly or annual fee, a move that resonates with customers seeking data-driven solutions.

The asset reorganization not only enhances McCrometer’s existing municipal flow portfolio, but it also takes advantage of synergies between the two businesses while creating a more comprehensive suite of products and services tailored to the evolving demands of the industry.
