Xylem and Evoqua: Merging for a Sustainable Water Future

The Strategic Merger of Xylem and Evoqua

The merger between Xylem and Evoqua represented more than just corporate consolidation—it was a union of complementary strengths and shared visions. Evoqua, a leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, brought with it deep expertise in industrial applications and service-driven models. Xylem, with its strength in digital solutions, pumps, analytics, and utility-scale systems, found in Evoqua a perfect partner to create a more resilient, responsive, and technologically diverse portfolio.

The acquisition aimed to address intensifying global challenges related to water scarcity, aging infrastructure, and environmental compliance. Combining Xylem’s advanced sensing and control systems with Evoqua’s process technologies enabled the integrated company to offer end-to-end solutions, from water source to discharge and reuse. The result is a global platform with unmatched capabilities across both municipal and industrial sectors.

A Broad Portfolio for Every Water Challenge

Xylem’s expanded product and solution lineup, post-merger, covers a wide spectrum of water needs—from collection and transportation to treatment and monitoring. The company develops and manufactures pumps and pumping systems for water supply, wastewater transport, and flood control, drawing on decades of engineering excellence. Its Flygt and Godwin brands are globally trusted for moving water efficiently and reliably under even the most demanding conditions.

Water treatment technologies now form a more comprehensive pillar within the company, especially with the integration of Evoqua’s systems for biological treatment, filtration, disinfection, and chemical dosing. These offerings are essential in treating industrial effluent, purifying drinking water, and ensuring water quality in critical applications like food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and microelectronics.

Xylem’s analytical instruments, under brands like YSI and WTW, offer precise real-time monitoring for a variety of parameters such as pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen, supporting proactive water quality management. Digital innovation continues to be a central theme, with smart infrastructure solutions that help utilities and industries reduce water loss, energy consumption, and maintenance costs through data-driven insights.

The Future of Xylem in a Water-Stressed World

As climate change, population growth, and industrial demands place increasing pressure on global water systems, the need for intelligent and sustainable water management has never been greater. The merger with Evoqua positions Xylem at the forefront of this movement, offering integrated solutions that not only meet regulatory requirements but also contribute to a circular water economy.

Xylem’s future is one of innovation, scalability, and global responsibility. With its broadened capabilities, the company is now more equipped than ever to help communities, industries, and ecosystems thrive in a world where water security is both a challenge and a shared goal.
