A New Chapter: OTT HydroMet Evolves into Ott and Kipp & Zonen

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 leading Hydro Analytics and Kipp & Zonen leading Weather 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.

Built around customer outcomes – today and for the future

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.

Ott – Hydro Analytics

Ott focuses on environmental water monitoring and hydrology, bringing together globally trusted brands and deep domain expertise used by water professionals worldwide. Founded in 1873 and rooted in scientific precision, Ott has been synonymous with reliable water measurement for more than 150 years. Today, Ott’s purpose is clear: Ott exists to protect the world’s water resources by equipping the people who manage them with trusted, decision-ready intelligence.

“By coming together as one Ott team, we’re bringing trusted product brands, complementary portfolios, and deep customer relationships under a single name – better positioned to serve our customers worldwide.” Curt Worlund, President, Ott

The Ott portfolio brings together respected brands including In‑Situ, Hydrolab, and Sutron, along with solutions such as Aqua TROLL water quality sondes, Ott RLS 500 water level sensors, and STURON XLink Series of dataloggers.

Kipp & Zonen – Weather Analytics

Kipp & Zonen focuses on reducing uncertainty for organizations whose performance, safety, and financial outcomes are shaped by weather – so every decision is made with confidence. With roots dating back to 1830 and nearly 200 years of scientific heritage, the company is globally recognized for precision in solar radiation measurement and atmospheric sensing.

I am especially excited to introduce Kipp & Zonen, our operating company focused on weather analytics. Founded in 1830, Kipp & Zonen has been shaping the field of scientific instrumentation for nearly two centuries - building a legacy of precision, innovation, and trusted measurement that continues to guide how we serve customers today.

The Kipp & Zonen portfolio brings together respected brands including LufftAtonometrics, and MeteoStar, delivering verified environmental monitoring systems and lifecycle services that support forecasting, compliance, performance optimization, and long‑term environmental decision‑making. 

Looking ahead

Through two focused operating companies, Veralto is strengthening its ability to serve distinct analytics domains, while staying anchored in what matters most: helping customers turn environmental data into confident decisions.
