Dear readers,
One of the largest and simultaneously most important challenges of the
future is the responsible handling of the global water resources. This also
includes the professional management of lakes, rivers and ponds, as well as
precise precipitation monitoring and the protection of our groundwater.
In this context, as one of the worlds leading manufacturers of hydrometric
systems, the OTT Hydromet group bears a special responsibility. It is the
kind of stewardship all of our staff members are committed to, dedicating
not only their expert know-how, but also great enthusiasm to the task at
hand both 135 years ago and today.
As a result, the company produces highest quality innovative measuring
systems for municipalities, government agencies, construction and engineering
firms, corporations and colleges in short: for everyone who is dependent
on ultra-modern technology, highly precise data and tailored solutions in
relation to water management.
This brochure was put together with the objective to introduce our
state-of-the-art service portfolio to you and to invite you to measure
OTT Hydromet products and services by the highest standards your
requirements and expectations.

Everything that has always been essential: innovation and customer proximity
For more than 135 years, we at OTT have been focused on everything that relates to
recording, measuring and analyzing. However, it is not just the data we deliver thats right
on the mark, but also our basic values, such as quality consciousness, innovation and
customer proximity.
The consistent implementation of these values has allowed OTT to evolve into one of the
worlds largest manufacturers of hydrometric systems. Whether water level, flow or
precipitation measurement, OTT devices belong there. The product range is sensibly
complemented with the high quality and proven HYDROLAB multiparameter sondes,
which cover the area of water quality measurement.
OTT and HYDROLAB have been combined in the OTT Hydromet group since 2009. Joint
ideals and a high expectation of their own performance constitute the basis of this synergy.
Together with global co-subsidiaries and agents OTT Hydromet provides intelligent and
ultra-modern solutions for measuring tasks related to surface water, groundwater and
precipitation to customers in more than 90 countries. Our applications include everything
from individual sensors to nationwide measuring networks always tailored precisely to
the specific local requirements.

Setting the highest quality standards from the start: OTT Hydromet
customers expect the best
It goes without saying that OTT Hydromet makes quality priority one. Consequently, the
company is ISO 9001 certified and its in-house quality management team ensures that
even the toughest standards are being met. What makes OTT Hydromet so unique,
however, is much more than that.
Proximity to the customer gives OTT Hydromet its special competitive edge. Our experts
dedicate their time to you and really listen intently so they can meet your every need. They
ask the right questions, too, until they have a detailed picture of what your actual
requirements are. Subsequently, a tailored solution is developed in close collaboration
with you to perfectly meet your expectations and objectives.
Not only is this kind of teamwork highly efficient and constructive for both parties, it also
drives the innovation engine at OTT Hydromet. After all, it is our customers who challenge
the company with new tasks again and again and whose demands stimulate us to attain
outstanding achievements. Therefore it is hardly surprising that 25 % of OTT Hydromets
workforce are highly qualified development and research experts. Thus prepared, we will
continue to set new standards as time goes by. Technological innovation is one of the
pillars of our success, customer satisfaction another.
