Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation has been named to Business Insider's America's High-Growth Companies 2026 list for the first time. The company is one of only 50 manufacturers and one of only six Wisconsin-based companies included among the 500 firms recognized. This inclusion highlights the company's ability to maintain high-quality growth based on an extensive assessment of financial records against 11 growth metrics for over 3,000 US publicly listed companies on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq.

"With clean, safe water at the heart of our business, our growth strategy and our sustainability strategy are increasingly the same," said Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions. "The world is facing escalating water conservation and contamination issues, and we’ve built a core business uniquely positioned to meet those challenges with solutions that make water safe and more sustainable."

Adams emphasized that the company's innovations, such as drinking water filtration that reduces forever chemicals and backflow preventers, reflect a commitment to protecting water resources while creating value for customers and shareholders. The eligibility for the list was restricted to companies that have been public since 2020 and achieved both a minimum revenue of $100 million and profitability in fiscal year 2025.
