Scale indicators23 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Pentair plc: Pentair is a global water solutions company offering residential and commercial filtration, flow, and pool solutions. It is a broader incumbent competitor with overlapping residential filtration products (competing with Elkay's Liv EZ) and a larger international footprint, leveraging scale advantages in retail and OEM channels.
• Xylem Inc. Xylem is a large water technology company focused on utility-scale water transport, treatment, and measurement. While Xylem primarily serves municipal and industrial customers with larger pumping/measurement infrastructure, it competes with Zurn Elkay's Wilkins brand in commercial flow control and backflow prevention categories.
• A. O. Smith Corporation: A. O. Smith is a larger diversified water heating and treatment company with comparable commercial water filtration products. While primarily known for water heaters, its treatment segment competes with Elkay's commercial filtration in institutional and hospitality channels and shares similar specification-driven GTM.

Direct peers

• Mueller Water Products: Mueller Water Products manufactures infrastructure and flow control products for water utilities, including valves, hydrants, and pipe fittings used in municipal water systems. Its Wilkins-equivalent portfolio and municipal customer overlap make it a direct competitor to Zurn's water safety and backflow prevention product lines.
• Watts Water Technologies: Watts Water Technologies is a publicly traded global manufacturer of water safety and flow control products including backflow preventers, pressure reducing valves, and filtration. It is the closest direct peer to Zurn Elkay, with overlapping product categories (Wilkins brand competes directly with Watts), similar specification-driven commercial/institutional GTM, and overlapping North American plumbing wholesale channel relationships.

Emerging players

• Sloan Valve Company: Sloan Valve is a privately held manufacturer of commercial flush valves, faucets, and washroom sensors. Its touch-free sensor product portfolio directly competes with Zurn Elkay's touch-free plumbing line, particularly in commercial restroom specification sales.
• American Standard Brands: American Standard manufactures plumbing fixtures including commercial toilets, faucets, and lavatories sold through plumbing wholesale channels. It overlaps with Zurn Elkay's spec-driven commercial plumbing portfolio and competes in the same LEED-certified institutional specification projects.
• Culligan Water: Culligan is a major residential and commercial water treatment franchise network. It competes with Elkay's residential filtration products and Fountains for Youth donation program in the commercial drinking water market through its dealer-driven distribution model.

Others

• Roper Technologies (water/fluid handling segments): Roper Technologies owns several water and fluid handling instrumentation businesses. It is not a direct peer but an adjacent technology and measurement player that competes for IoT-enabled smart water assets and connected plumbing platform opportunities relevant to Zurn Elkay's plumbSMART product.

Regional players

• Badger Meter Inc. Badger Meter is a leading manufacturer of flow measurement and metering instruments used in water utilities. CEO Todd Adams also serves on Badger Meter's board. While not a direct overlap on fixture products, it is a comparable North American water infrastructure instrumentation player and potential cross-sell partner.
