Description: ZWS Zurn Elkay Water Solutions November 06, 2025
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp. (NYSE: ZWS) designs, manufactures, and markets a broad portfolio of water-management products-including filtered drinking stations, backflow preventers, PEX piping, commercial faucets, sinks, restroom partitions, and sensor-operated flush valves-under the Elkay, Zurn, Wilkins, Green Turtle, and related brands. Its customers span institutional, commercial, water-works, and residential markets, reached through independent reps, plumbing wholesalers, and specialty distributors.
Key recent metrics: the company reported FY 2024 revenue of $1.84 billion, a 5.2% year-over-year increase driven by strong demand for water-conservation fixtures amid tightening building-code standards. Gross margin held at 38.6%, reflecting pricing power in the premium-segment plumbing market. A notable sector driver is the U.S. “green building” trend, with LEED-certified projects expected to boost demand for low-flow and sensor-based fixtures by an estimated 3-4% annually through 2028.
