- Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation is a leading designer, manufacturer, and marketer of engineered water solutions focused on water quality, safety, hygiene, flow control, and conservation. The company operates primarily in the United States and Canada and serves commercial, municipal, healthcare, and industrial markets. Its core product portfolio includes finished plumbing products such as commercial sinks, filtered bottle fillers, water coolers, and drinking fountains for indoor and outdoor use; drainage systems and interceptors for stormwater and wastewater management; water control and backflow preventers, pressure reducing and automatic control valves, and thermostatic mixing valves; PEX plumbing systems; fire protection solutions including backflow preventers and fire valves; as well as hygiene products like soap dispensers and hand dryers.

Founded over 125 years ago and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Zurn Elkay Water Solutions emerged as a pure-play water business following the 2021 divestiture of its process and motion control segments. The company strategically expanded its product offerings and market presence through the 2022 merger with Elkay Manufacturing, which added drinking water solutions including bottle filling stations and water coolers, complementing Zurn’s core water management and hygiene products. Recent major initiatives include the 2024 launch of innovative service tools like a Total Cost of Ownership and Sustainability Calculator to emphasize environmental and economic benefits, new residential filtered faucets with commercial-grade filtration to remove lead, PFOA/OS, and microplastics, and Hydro- X flush valves that operate without external power sources. Zurn Elkay reported strong financial performance in 2024 with revenue growth and margin improvement driven by synergies from the Elkay merger and ongoing productivity enhancements. Sustainability remains a strategic focus with significant reductions in energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions, advancement of supply chain integrity programs, and newly established goals for associate health, waste reduction, and community engagement.
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions delivers solutions designed for long-lasting performance, ease of installation, and reduced maintenance, aiming to support healthier, safer, and more sustainable water environments across its served markets. Its products are widely used in new construction and retrofit projects in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, municipal infrastructure, and industrial sites. The company’s emphasis on innovation and sustainability positions it as a trusted partner in advancing global water quality and management standards while prioritizing customer satisfaction and operational excellence.
This comprehensive and integrated water solutions provider maintains a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility, targeting continuous improvements in its environmental footprint and supply chain sustainability initiatives.
