IDEX’s portfolio spans three product groups. Health & Science Technologies (HST) includes precision-fluidics products, positive-displacement pumps, chromatography hardware and components such as degassers, manifolds, sensors, detectors and valves; microfluidic systems and consumables for point-of-care diagnostics and digital PCR; and processing equipment including Quadro milling and emulsification systems, Fitzpatrick size-reduction and roll-compaction equipment, and Microfluidizer high-shear processors. The segment also offers medical devices and implantables, optics and imaging products, compressors and blowers, technical ceramics, hermetic seals, porous materials, mixers and hygienic valves.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
Fluid & Metering Technologies (FMT) sells positive-displacement pumps, valves, flow meters, injectors, small-volume provers and fluid-handling systems. Pump offerings include Viking internal- and external-gear, vane, lobe and circumferential-piston pumps for liquids ranging from thin to viscous; air- and electric-operated double-diaphragm pumps for abrasive or semisolid fluids; and reciprocating pumps for mining and wastewater applications. Other products and services include water metering and flow monitoring, sewer-inspection crawlers and software, water-treatment chemical-dosing pumps, and high-purity pumps and deionized-water heaters.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]
Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (FSDP) includes truck-mounted and portable firefighting pumps, monitors, nozzles, foam systems, pump modules, controls and fittings; hydraulic rescue tools, recycling cutters, re-railing equipment and pneumatic rescue bags; stainless-steel banding, buckles and clamping systems; and equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing colorants and paints. Its named brands include Hale, Godiva, Akron Brass, Weldon, AWG Fittings, Hurst Jaws of Life, Lukas, Vetter and BAND-IT.[23][24][25][26][27]
In fiscal 2025, external-customer sales were $3,457.5 million: HST $1,490.7 million (43.1%), FMT $1,222.5 million (35.4%) and FSDP $744.3 million (21.5%). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, sales were $1,807.5 million: HST $811.4 million (44.9%), FMT $618.0 million (34.2%) and FSDP $378.1 million (20.9%). These are segment-level shares; product-line revenue percentages were not reported.[5][28] [7][8][9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][23][24][25][26][5][5][5][28][28][28][12][22][27]
Geographic presence
IDEX reported 2025 net sales by customer geography of $1,760.8 million in the U.S., $129.7 million in North America excluding the U.S., $846.2 million in Europe, $563.0 million in Asia, and $165.1 million in Other markets. The schedule also shows a $7.3 million intersegment elimination and consolidated net sales of $3,457.5 million; because regional figures include intersegment sales before elimination, they should not be read as shares of consolidated sales.[29]
The company describes operations across the U.S., Canada, Europe, India, China, and Japan, with additional business-unit operations or distribution facilities cited in Australia and Brazil. Disclosed examples include IDEX Health & Science locations in the U.S., Germany, and Japan; Materials Science Solutions operations in the U.S., Canada, England, the Netherlands, and India; and Richter/Aegis operations in Germany, China, India, and Louisiana. These are examples, not a complete facilities list.[8][30][31][32][33] IDEX reported approximately 8,700 employees as of December 31, 2025, but did not provide a country or regional breakdown in the cited disclosure.[34] [29][29][29][29][29][29][29][8][30][31][32][33][34]
Business segments
IDEX reports three operating and reportable segments: Health & Science Technologies (HST), Fluid & Metering Technologies (FMT), and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (FSDP).[2]
HST provides precision fluidics and positive-displacement pumps, processing and drying technologies, micro-precision and pneumatic components, sealing solutions, hygienic mixers and valves, medical devices, compressors and blowers, and optical, photonic, ceramic and porous-material products. Its markets include life sciences, industrial, semiconductor, energy, space and defense, and food and beverage. HST generated approximately 43% of FY2025 segment sales ($1,490.7 million).[35][5]
FMT supplies positive-displacement pumps, valves, flow meters, small-volume provers, injectors and fluid-handling systems, as well as flow-monitoring services, for industrial, water, energy, chemical and agriculture markets. It accounted for approximately 35% of FY2025 segment sales ($1,222.5 million). FSDP supplies firefighting pumps, valves and controls, rescue tools, engineered banding and clamping products, and equipment for dispensing, metering and mixing colorants and paints; its markets include fire suppression, rescue, automotive, aviation and industrial applications. FSDP contributed approximately 22% ($744.3 million). Shares are calculated from FY2025 external-customer sales of $3,457.5 million.[36][37][5] [2][35][5][36][37][5][5][5]
