Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Badger Meter (BMI) provides liquid flow measurement products and control technologies to utilities (primarily water and to a much, lesser extent natural gas) and industrial customers.

The company sells manually read meters, automatic meter reading (AMR) systems and fixed network advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) systems to utilities. Badger Meter continues to post higher sales in its utility product line, which accounts for more than 80% of its total revenue.
