AW-Lake and KEM Flow Measurement reported July 28 that they’re merging into one industrial, flow-measurement organization.

The merger builds on more than 40 years of collaboration between AW-Lake and KEM. As sister companies within TASI Measurement, Germany-based KEM and U.S.-based AW-Lake have long worked closely together to deliver the same products, quality, performance and technical support. This merger is expected to give their customers expanded engineering resources, deeper application expertise, broader flow measurement capabilities, and stronger global support. By bringing their strengths closer together, KEM and AW-Lake report their newly combined organization is better equipped to help customers solve complex measurement challenges, while continuing to deliver the quality, responsiveness, and technical guidance they already rely on. 

“This merger brings together two organizations with complementary strengths and a long history of working together successfully,” stated Georg Happach, managing director of KEM. “By aligning more closely as one business, we’re creating a stronger global foundation for long-term growth. It’s an important step that will let us serve our customers with broader capabilities and a clearer, more unified direction for the future.”

As part of the transition, the combined organization will progressively align under KEM’s brand, while continuing to build on the strong heritage, expertise, and customer relationships established by AW-Lake. This evolution reflects the next stage in aligning the organizations under one unified, global brand, while building on the strengths, expertise, and trusted relationships that both companies have established.

Day-to-day operations at AW-Lake’s Oak Creek, Wis., location will remain unchanged, and customers will continue working with the same trusted contacts for orders, questions and technical support. The combined organization is committed to ensuring a smooth transition, while maintaining the responsiveness, partnership, and support customers have come to expect.

“For AW-Lake’s customers and partners, continuity remains a top priority,” adds Claude Champion, GM at AW-Lake. “The relationships, responsiveness, and support they count on today will remain firmly in place. At the same time, this merger gives us access to broader resources and expanded technical capabilities that will help us serve customers even better.”
