Badger Meter also provides AMR/AMI connectivity to various gas and electric meter reading systems.

An Ongoing Commitment to Our Customers

Badger Meter’s ongoing commitment to our customers is both technological and institutional. Strategically headquartered in Milwaukee, the fresh water capital of the U.S., Badger Meter has a multi-million dollar research and testing facility dedicated to keeping Badger Meter in the forefront as “best in class” in its industry.

The James O. Wright Innovation Center is dedicated to new product research and development. Equipped with advanced engineering and testing systems, its focal point is the hydro lab with tank sizes from 12 to 12,000 gallons. Other tests assess and validate performance criteria including product life-cycle, accuracy, and durability under extreme conditions.

Badger Meter was instrumental in founding the Milwaukee Area Water Council to promote economic development in the water sector. The Council’s accomplishments include working with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to establish the first-ever “School of Freshwater Sciences.” This includes student internship programs and government funding for technology start-up companies in the water sector. We hope these efforts and the water summits held in Milwaukee, will establish the region as the “Silicon Valley of Water Technology.”

Badger Meter is focused on our planet’s most important natural resource: fresh water. The conservation of this irreplaceable life-sustaining element begins with the challenge of managing its usage. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.

Badger Meter is committed to the ongoing research and development that produces advanced product technology for the growing and changing global demands in water flow management. This technology includes a new and growing realm of conservation through the management of recycled water for non-consumable commercial venues. Badger Meter’s environmental initiative is not limited to any single corporate directive, but rather a commitment to the ongoing development of ideas and technology that will help ensure our planet’s fresh water future for our children.
