Hach Middle East & Africa

What Hach Middle East & Africa does

Hach Middle East & Africa is the regional arm of Hach, the U.S.-headquartered water-quality measurement company that operates within Veralto Corporation's Water Quality segment (NYSE: VLTO, spun off from Danaher in 2023). From an office in the Dubai International Financial Centre, the business sells, services, and supports Hach's portfolio of laboratory and online water-quality instruments, proprietary reagents and consumables, and the Claros Water Intelligence software platform to customers across the Middle East and Africa.

The core technology stack centers on laboratory instruments (spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and turbidimeters), online process analyzers and sensors (including the Intellical probe family), and reagent systems such as Chemkeys and the EZ Series with Standard Addition Technology. These are increasingly connected through Claros, which aggregates instrument telemetry, runs predictive analytics such as Prognosys for instrument health, and supports remote monitoring and management for operators. Adjacent capabilities include Real-Time Control managed services and integration with Veralto sister brands (OTT Hydromet, Trojan, McCrometer) for hydrology, UV disinfection, and flow measurement.

The business model combines direct enterprise sales with a global distributor network spanning more than 40 countries, quote-based pricing on capital instruments, recurring revenue from proprietary reagents and consumables tied to the installed base, multi-year service contracts, and managed-services offerings. End customers are primarily municipal water utilities, industrial manufacturers (including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, power, and mining), and engineering consultants responsible for water-treatment design and compliance.
