Nov 2026 : Xylem Inc. has officially closed its acquisition of Cornell Pump and Roper Pump, marking another major milestone in its pivot toward high-growth, high-margin industrial sectors.

The acquisition builds on a busy year of targeted expansion for the company, following its purchases of TriOS in July and WaterFleet in September. By adding Cornell and Roper to its portfolio, Xylem significantly deepens its specialized engineering capabilities for complex, heavy-duty applications - including solids handling, slurry transport, and suction lift. These additions position Xylem to capture expanding demand in key industrial markets such as mining, power generation, semiconductors, and food and beverage manufacturing.

“We’ve been very deliberate about where we want to grow and where we believe Xylem can create the most value,” said Matthew Pine, President and CEO of Xylem. “This acquisition is a great example. It brings strong positions in markets benefiting from some of the biggest investment trends we see today, along with technologies and expertise that broaden what we can do for customers. And with Xylem’s global reach, we see opportunities to take those strengths further.”

Initially, the newly acquired assets will operate within Xylem’s Water Infrastructure segment before transitioning to its Flow Solutions segment in January 2027. With a global workforce of 22,000 employees and $9 billion in revenue generated in 2025, Xylem’s latest move underscores its focus on accelerating growth across resilient infrastructure and industrial modernization markets worldwide.
