XYL Company Overview

Xylem Inc. is a U.S.-based water technology company focused on the design, manufacture, and servicing of products and systems used across the water cycle. The company operates in the broader industrials and environmental infrastructure sectors, with a primary emphasis on water transport, treatment, testing, monitoring, and conservation technologies. Xylem serves municipal utilities, industrial customers, commercial building operators, and residential end users through a portfolio of water infrastructure and analytics solutions. Its principal revenue drivers include water infrastructure equipment, smart metering systems, applied water technologies, and digital monitoring platforms.

The company was formed in 2011 as a spin-off from ITT Corporation, inheriting ITT’s water-related businesses and engineering capabilities.

The acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies in 2023 significantly expanded its treatment and advanced water solutions portfolio, strengthening its position in industrial and municipal water services. Xylem’s strategic positioning is supported by long-established brands, global distribution networks, recurring aftermarket service revenue, and growing demand for water efficiency and infrastructure modernization.
