The segments sell similar products; sales are assigned to a region based on the location of the entity recording the sale. The shared portfolio spans flow control and protection, HVAC and gas, drainage and water reuse, and water quality.[17][14]
In FY2025, external-customer sales were $1,847.4 million for Americas (approximately 75.8% of consolidated sales), $450.7 million for Europe (approximately 18.5%), and $140.4 million for APMEA (approximately 5.8%), out of $2,438.5 million total. Percentages are calculated from reported segment sales and total sales.[9][9][9][9] [17][14][9][9][9][9]
Company history
Founded in 1874 by Joseph E. Watts as a machine shop serving New England textile mills, the company developed into a manufacturer of plumbing and water-control products. Burchard Everett Horne acquired Watts Regulator Co. in 1918, and the company introduced a temperature-and-pressure relief valve during the 1930s.[18][8]
The Delaware parent company was incorporated in 1985, and the business became publicly traded as Watts Industries in 1986. It adopted the name Watts Water Technologies, Inc. in 2003.[18][8][19] In 2014, Robert J. Pagano, Jr. became president and CEO. The company expanded through its 2023 acquisition of Bradley Corporation and its 2024 acquisition of Josam Company.[20][21][22] [18][8][19][20][21][22]
