What BERMAD does

BERMAD CS Ltd. is an Israel-based, privately held designer, developer, and manufacturer of hydraulic control valves and integrated water flow management solutions, founded in 1965 and operating across more than 60 countries through an authorized distributor network and regional offices in South East Asia and Europe. The company's product portfolio spans eight core hardware categories: control valves (pressure reducing, pressure sustaining, burst control, pump, level, flow, surge relief, and on/off), deluge valves for fire protection, BIC controllers, electromagnetic and mechanical metering, check valves, air valves, pilots and accessories, solenoids, and filter backwash valves. Around this hardware base, BERMAD is building a digital layer — BERMAD Cloud (an AWS-hosted IoT platform for real-time monitoring and remote troubleshooting), BERMAD Connect (a mobile app for product identification and service logging), smart metering, non-revenue water (NRW) solutions, and the BERMADIZE umbrella brand — that introduces the company's first subscription/recurring revenue stream on top of its predominantly hardware-driven model.

The company serves four primary verticals — irrigation (agricultural infrastructure, greenhouses, mechanized and micro-irrigation), waterworks and municipal networks (including sewage, water treatment, desalination, mining, and industrial), fire protection (aviation, LNG, offshore, refinery, power plants), and buildings and construction (high-rise, data centers, tunnels) — with over 40 million cumulative installations worldwide and ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. Revenue mechanics are B2B enterprise sales executed through distributors with quote-based pricing, supplemented by direct regional engagement and a customer portal; the company has no parent, no disclosed funding rounds, no public listing, and is widely held to be founder- or family-controlled. Named end-customers disclosed in source material are limited to Port Elizabeth Municipal Water Utility and Tasmanian Irrigation Schemes, consistent with a broadly distributed revenue base rather than anchor-account concentration.

• Cla-Val: US-based manufacturer of automatic control valves for waterworks, fire protection, aviation, and industrial applications. One of the closest direct competitors to BERMAD on hydraulic control valves for pressure reducing, pump control, and deluge fire protection.
• Hawle (Tyco/Johnson Controls): Austrian manufacturer of valves and fittings for water and gas supply, part of Johnson Controls. Closely comparable to BERMAD on municipal waterworks valve portfolios and European/global distribution presence.

Broad incumbents

• Pentair: US-listed global water treatment and flow company serving residential, commercial, and industrial segments. Comparable to BERMAD's broader portfolio including flow/pressure control valves, but with much larger scale and a stronger consumer/residential mix.
• Xylem: US-listed global water technology company spanning pumps, treatment, metering, and digital solutions for utilities and industrial customers. Broad incumbent that overlaps BERMAD in smart metering (Sensus brand), pressure management, and municipal waterworks applications.

Emerging players

• Itron: US-listed provider of smart utility solutions including water, electricity, and gas AMI/metering platforms. Comparable to BERMAD Cloud and Smart Metering offerings, though Itron specializes in the data/connectivity layer rather than hydraulic hardware.
• Badger Meter: US-listed manufacturer of flow measurement and smart water metering solutions for utilities. Comparable to BERMAD's Metering and BERMAD Cloud product lines, though Badger Meter is more focused on the metering/AMI side rather than valve-centric control.
