What Aw-Lake does

AW-Lake Company is a US-based industrial manufacturer of flow measurement instruments, headquartered in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and operating as a subsidiary of TASI Measurement, a global network of flow meter manufacturers. Founded in 1984, the company designs and sells a broad portfolio spanning eight mechanical flow technologies — positive displacement gear meters (JV Series), Coriolis mass flow meters (TRICOR/TCM Series), axial turbine meters, variable area/rotameter meters, paddle wheel (FlowStat) meters, helical (SRZ) screw-type meters, ultrasonic meters, and rotary piston (VFF) meters — plus complementary electronics including the RT-50 battery-powered Bluetooth transmitter, HUB-40/HUB-40EX sensors, ECO flow conditioners, and the ProScan inline turbidity sensor. Differentiation rests on accuracy specifications (e.g., TQ wafer turbine at ±1% of reading with ±0.1% repeatability), broad hazardous-area certifications (CSA, ATEX, IECEx, NEMA 4X), and an OEM-validated track record of more than 40 years with automotive Tier-1 suppliers.

The company serves a diversified industrial customer base across 12 verticals — fluid power/hydraulics, oil & gas, chemical, heavy industrial, paints/sealants/adhesives, automotive, aerospace, marine, water cooling, test systems, alternative energy, and general industrial — with named enterprise customers including an automotive Tier-1 supplier, a Mexican automation provider, a US-based cider producer (Downeast), and an aerospace firm (Intergalactic Space Worx). Pricing is predominantly quote-based for higher-value mechanical meters and electronics, while a growing catalog of standardized products is sold through a direct e-commerce storefront (catalog.aw-lake.com) at unit price points such as $585-$610 for HUB-40SD sensors, $935 for the MX 9000 process monitor, and $1,019 for the RT-50 transmitter. Go-to-market combines a direct sales team of experienced application engineers (carrying a cumulative 136 years of flow measurement experience), inside-sales quote workflows capturing detailed application parameters, and digital channels including YouTube, LinkedIn, and the AW-Lake Mobile Toolkit mobile app for Bluetooth-enabled field setup.

Revenue mechanics are tied principally to hardware sales of meters, sensors, and supporting electronics, with adjacent recurring services covering calibration, field service, RMA, and customization engineering. The company maintains three R&D centers across the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and operates within TASI Measurement's broader global manufacturing footprint in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Recent corporate activity includes the August 2025 acquisition of DCiii, LLC by parent TASI to extend into chemical injection automation, the February 2026 launch of the TH Series high-accuracy turbine flow meter, and the May 2026 appointment of Claude Champion as General Manager to lead commercial growth across the Americas.
