Clearer focus. Deeper expertise. Decision ready intelligence.

Veralto has introduced its Environmental Business to create a clearer, more customer focused structure across environmental analytics. As part of this evolution, Ott and Kipp & Zonen will operate as flagship organizations – Ott leadingHydro Analyticsand Kipp & Zonen leadingWeather Analytics. Together, they form two focused operating companies aligned with how customers collect, interpret, and act on environmental data.

As climate variability increases, infrastructure ages, regulatory expectations rise, and transparency becomes essential, environmental professionals need more than precise measurements. They need confidence in their data, continuity across systems, and insights that translate into informed action. This evolution responds directly to that need – strengthening the link between trusted measurement, connected technologies, and real-world outcomes.

This alignment simplifies how customers navigate solutions, engage with specialized expertise, and scale systems that support long-term environmental and operational decisions. Across both Ott and Kipp & Zonen, customers benefit from a more streamlined experience, clearer solution pathways, and a continued commitment to performance, reliability, and long-term support.
