For years AW-Lake and KEM have worked side by side. Now the two companies are formally coming together as one organization under TASI Measurement. If you have heard about the merger and wondered what it means for your orders, your products, or the people you work with, this is the short version. Very little changes for you today, and what does change is meant to make flow measurement and control easier for the long run.
We know that any news like this raises a fair question first. Will the things I depend on still be there tomorrow? The answer is yes. The same meters, the same quality and the same part numbers carry forward. What you gain is a wider portfolio and a stronger global footprint behind every order. Here is what stays the same, what gets better and what is actually changing. You can find the full background on our AW-Lake / KEM merger details page.
Start with the most important point. There are no immediate changes to what you buy. Nothing is being discontinued, renamed, or consolidated right now.
Your AW-Lake part numbers do not change. That is worth repeating because it matters for your drawings, your bills of material and your specifications. The part number you order today is the part number you order after the merger. Positive-displacement gear meters, turbine meters, rotary piston, variable area, paddle wheel, ultrasonic and Coriolis, along with the sensors, monitors, transmitters and electronics that go with them, all continue as before.
The quality and the engineering behind those products stay the same too. AW-Lake has always aimed to be your one-stop shop for industrial flow measurement, and that focus is not going anywhere. You can keep browsing and specifying from the same AW-Lake flow measurement products you already know, across the same industries we serve. If you want to reach us, please continue to use your usual channels. You can always contact your AW-Lake team the same way you do today.
The people stay the same too. The AW-Lake team you work with is still here, and that continuity matters, especially for repeat customers who value knowing exactly who to call. You keep the same relationships alongside the same products.
The reason two companies come together is to do more for customers than either could alone. That is the upside here.
The two product lines have long been similar, so the combined range fills gaps rather than creating overlap. In fact, AW-Lake has offered many of these products for years, which is why most of what you rely on stays exactly where it is. What is new is that a handful of additional products will now be featured together in one place, so more of what you might need sits under one roof. To explore the full range, you can visit the KEM website.
The strengths are complementary. KEM has deep experience in marine and hydraulic test stand applications. AW-Lake brings expertise in oil and gas and aerospace, plus a line of lower-cost products for cost-sensitive or lower-accuracy requirements. Together that is a broader answer to more of your flow measurement problems.
Both companies are also known for the same specialty: paints, coatings, sealants and adhesives, which remain a large part of the combined business. These are thick, demanding fluids, sometimes viscous, sometimes abrasive, sometimes electrically charged (electrostatic), and AW-Lake and KEM offer components chosen specifically to handle them. That shared expertise stays exactly where it is.
Reach improves as well. The combined organization has a clearer global presence, which helps customers who operate across regions. If you sell globally, it becomes easier to source products from both locations depending on where they are needed, with locally stocked inventory closer to the point of use. That can mean simpler global sourcing and fewer moving parts when you are supplying customers in more than one part of the world.
We want to be straight with you about what is genuinely changing, because being clear now saves confusion later.
The most visible change is the brand and the website. Going forward the combined business moves ahead as KEM Flow Measurement. In many places you will see AW-Lake described as AW-Lake, a KEM Flow Measurement company, so you know it is the same team and the same products under a clearer shared name.
The website will migrate over time. KEM will be the go-to website, so aw-lake.com will eventually host a single static page that explains the merger with a button to the new site, and later it will redirect to KEMFlow.com. Nothing you need disappears in the meantime. The simplest thing you can do is check KEMFlow.com and keep an eye on the merger page for new information as details are confirmed. For the current picture, start with our AW-Lake / KEM merger details and read more about AW-Lake and where the company comes from.
No. Your AW-Lake part numbers do not change, and nothing is being discontinued, renamed or consolidated right now. The products you order today continue as before. Over time you also gain access to an enhanced product portfolio, including KEM sensors and electronics offerings.
Please continue to reach us through your usual channels for now. Nothing about how you buy or get help changes today. If you are not sure where to start, you can contact your AW-Lake team the same way you always have, and we will point you in the right direction. As the two organizations bring their infrastructure together, we will share any updates through the merger page.
The products and part numbers you rely on are not changing as part of this merger. For specifics about where individual products are made and how the combined organization is set up, the best source is our merger page, which we are keeping current as details are confirmed. Please check the AW-Lake / KEM merger details for the latest, and reach out if you have a question about a particular product.
TASI Measurement is the parent organization that AW-Lake and KEM are part of. AW-Lake was formed in 2006 when TASI merged AW Company and Lake Monitors, and AW-Lake and KEM have been sister companies within TASI Measurement for two decades. This merger formally unites the two under one name, KEM Flow Measurement, so their combined strengths are easier to bring to customers around the world.
From quotation to commissioning & startup, we want to make every step simple and quick.
AW-Lake and KEM are Joining Together
We’re excited to share that AW-Lake and KEM Flow Measurement are joining together as one organization. This merger builds on more than 40 years of collaboration and strengthens our ability to serve customers with expanded engineering expertise, broader flow measurement capabilities, and continued reliable support. While our brand will gradually transition to KEM Flow Measurement, our day-today operations remain unchanged. You can continue to count on the same trusted contacts, responsiveness, and partnership you know from AW-Lake.
