About Veralto Corp
About Veralto Corp
Veralto's two operating segments generated $5.5 billion in 2025 sales: Water Quality (WQ), providing water analytics, treatment, and monitoring solutions under Hach, ChemTreat, and Trojan Technologies, and Product Quality & Innovation (PQI), offering marking and coding, packaging, and color management products under Videojet, Esko, X-Rite, and Pantone. North America accounted for 48% of 2025 revenue, high-growth markets 27%, and Western Europe 23%. Veralto employed nearly 17,000 people at December 31, 2025.
Veralto earns revenue through consumables (chemical reagents, inks, process chemicals), spare parts, maintenance services, and SaaS and term-based software licenses, which represented approximately 61% of 2025 sales. Within WQ, Hach serves over 149,000 customers ranging from small community water utilities to large industrial operators, and Trojan Technologies supports treatment of 15 trillion gallons of water annually. PQI targets consumer packaged goods and pharmaceutical manufacturers — the 10-K states a majority of the top 25 global CPG brands and a majority of the top 20 pharmaceutical brands use PQI solutions — with inline printing and coding systems sold alongside design software from Esko and color management tools from X-Rite and Pantone. Products reach customers directly and through roughly 18% third-party distributor sales; no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of 2025 sales. Cost inputs include metallic and electronic components, chemistries, and petroleum-based products procured from a large number of independent sources globally.

Supply chain concentration at Veralto is limited but not absent. The 10-K discloses that for components requiring particular specifications or regulatory qualifications, there may be a single supplier or a limited number of suppliers that can readily provide such components — a disclosed dependency alongside the company's general diversification. Tariffs on U.S. imports from China and other countries imposed since January 2025 represent an ongoing source of input cost uncertainty that could weigh on margins if mitigations fall short; the filing notes no assurance that these factors will not have an adverse impact on the business and financial statements in 2026.
