AW-Lake and KEM Flow Measurement announce merger
AW-Lake and KEM Flow Measurement are formally coming together as one industrial flow measurement company.
The merger builds on more than 40 years of collaboration between AW-Lake and KEM Flow Measurement. As sister companies under TASI Measurement, KEM Flow Measurement in Germany and AW-Lake in the United States have long worked closely together to deliver the same products and technical support.
“This merger brings together two organizations with complementary strengths and a long history of working together successfully.” stated Georg Happach, managing director, KEM Flow Measurement. “By aligning more closely as one business, we are creating a stronger global foundation for long-term growth. It is an important step that will allow us to 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 the KEM Flow Measurement brand, while continuing to build on the expertise and customer relationships established by AW-Lake.
Day-to-day operations at AW-Lake’s Oak Creek, Wisconsin location will remain unchanged, and customers will continue working with the same contacts for orders, questions and technical support.
“For AW-Lake customers and partners, continuity remains a top priority.” said Claude Champion, who was named general manager of AW-Lake in May (Figure 1). Champion joined the company after serving as general manager of LEM USA, an electrical current and voltage measurement company.
“Claude brings a valuable combination of business discipline, customer focus, and sales experience. His background aligns well with AW-Lake’s priorities as we continue strengthening our ability to serve customers with responsive support, technical expertise, and reliable flow measurement solutions,” said John Norris, TASI Measurement CEO.
“The relationships, responsiveness, and support they count on today will remain firmly in place,” continued Champion. “At the same time, this merger gives us access to broader resources and expanded technical capabilities that will help us serve customers even better.”
