Hydrotek International, Inc.

What Hydrotek International, Inc. does

Hydrotek International, Inc. is a privately held Florida corporation founded in 1985 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, that designs and manufactures commercial sensor-operated plumbing products — principally touchless sensor faucets, sensor flush valves, and sensor shower systems — for high-traffic commercial restrooms. The company's technology platform rests on proprietary ACCU-SENSE adjustable infrared sensors, a patented piston-operated non-diaphragm flushing mechanism with slow-closing solenoid valves, VSI silicone elastomer seals resistant to chlorine and ammonia, and Enduratek energy-optimization circuitry that extends battery life to approximately 1.5 million cycles on four AA batteries. Product lines span the 1000C through 7000SLE faucet series, the H-8000C exposed and 8000C concealed flush-valve families, an 8000C Retrofit series engineered to drop into existing Sloan, Zurn, Toto, and Delany plumbing infrastructure, the 8200 Series launched in 2021, and the 9000C sensor shower system.

The business is fundamentally a hardware-sales manufacturer: revenue is generated through one-time sales of fixtures and replacement parts, with pricing ranging roughly from $400 to $575 per flush valve and approximately $451 to $491 per faucet or shower unit. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with orders taken via a 1-800 number and email, augmented by commercial plumbing supply distributors and plumbing supply houses serving both mid-market and enterprise buyers. End customers include building managers, property owners, plumbing engineers and specifiers, and operators of stadiums, airports, healthcare facilities, schools, and recreational venues. The company is ISO 9001 certified and its products carry EPA WaterSense, NSF, and ADA compliance designations, positioning the portfolio for LEED-oriented commercial construction and water-conservation rebate programs.

Hydrotek holds four registered patents, operates with no disclosed parent company or institutional funding, and has served customers across the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Germany, Sweden, and broader Europe. The company is founder/owner-operated, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or leadership transitions in the available data.
