Flowa has acquired Mercom Water Products

OCTOBER 23 2026

Press release published by Flowa:

We’re delighted to welcome Mercom Water Products to Flowa!

Based in Gloucestershire, Mercom is a specialist supplier of flow measurement and monitoring equipment for the UK water industry. From electromagnetic and ultrasonic flowmeters to data logger cables, pressure ancillaries and spares, Mercom delivers solutions that keep utilities and contractors running, with next-day delivery and expert technical support.

Founded by Richard Meredith and run as a family business with customer service at its heart, Mercom has built a reputation over more than two decades for knowing its products inside out and being there when customers need them.

Why it matters: accurate flow measurement is the foundation of a well-run water network. The water industry is heavily regulated in terms of water quality, sewage pollution and allowable leakage levels. Together with Flowa’s monitoring and control technology, engineering services and 24/7 response capability, Mercom strengthens what we can offer UK water utilities as the sector enters its largest investment cycle on record.

“Mercom shares our focus on expertise, reliability and availability. Their product knowledge and customer relationships are a great fit with Flowa, and we’re excited to grow together.”

— Simon Göthberg, CEO of Flowa

“Joining Flowa gives Mercom the backing to continue to serve our customers with excellent solutions, while keeping the service and team they know.”

— Richard Meredith, Founder of Mercom Water Products

Mercom will continue to operate under its own brand, with customers dealing with the same team as before.

A warm welcome to the whole Mercom team!
