Badger Meter designs and manufactures hardware, software, and connectivity systems for measuring water flow, monitoring water quality, and tracking pressure across municipal utilities, industrial operations, and residential installations. Founded in Milwaukee in 1905 as a manufacturer of frost-proof water meters, the company has expanded into a comprehensive platform provider spanning ultrasonic metering technology, underground leak-detection sensors, industrial control systems, and cloud-based analytics.
The company operates across more than 20 countries with a workforce of over 2,200 employees. Its product portfolio ranges from residential ultrasonic meters to industrial-grade control systems, unified under the BlueEdge suite - an integrated platform combining measurement hardware, communication infrastructure, and analytics software. Beyond point measurement, Badger Meter provides cloud platforms that analyse patterns across entire water distribution networks, enabling utilities and businesses to identify inefficiencies, detect leaks, and recover lost revenue.
The technical domains the company operates within include flow measurement, water quality monitoring, pressure monitoring, embedded hardware, IoT connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and distribution-network pattern analysis. This breadth reflects a shift from pure metering hardware toward intelligent water infrastructure, positioning the company as a data provider for utility operations and sustainability objectives.
