The Future of Water

Diehl Metering’s Digital Water Leap Powered by Analytics-focused Acquisition


Listen Later

Podcast host Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield Analyst Mike Muroff to dive into Diehl Metering’s recent acquisition of Preventio, a software company specializing in AI-powered solutions like leak detection and predictive maintenance. This deal is not just a major step for Diehl’s digital water strategy, but also reflects broader trends in Europe and beyond.

Preventio enhances Diehl's existing capabilities, particularly within its Analytics & Services division, which focuses on water loss management and IoT solutions. This acquisition positions Germany-based Diehl Metering alongside competitors like Xylem and Itron, who have also made strides in analytics and IoT, while marking a strategic pivot for the company as it strengthens its digital portfolio.

Economic and geopolitical shifts in Europe—especially in Germany—have also influenced this transaction. Challenges like the energy crisis and restrictive data regulations are driving demand for innovative solutions, while Diehl’s success in international markets like the U.S. and Saudi Arabia highlights the global potential for scaling Preventio’s offerings. This acquisition marks an important move in addressing critical market challenges like water scarcity and energy efficiency.
