OSE, which provides water and sewerage services nationwide, has ordered 45,000 units of Arad's Gladiator positive displacement water meters, which will be installed in different locations across the country. The Gladiator volumetric meter is specifically designed for high accuracy and a wide measuring range.
"Uruguay is one of Latin America's most advanced water markets and the fact that OSE has chosen Arad to provide it with advanced residential meters indicates our strong position in this lucrative market," said Rami Ziv, Arad's VP International Sales & Marketing. "As Uruguay is a regional leader in the utilization of water metering, we can assume that other utilities and water companies will follow in OSE's footsteps."
Arad has expanded its activity in Latin America substantially over the last several years. As part of its efforts to strengthen its presence in this fast-growing market, Arad recently acquired Mexico's leading water meter manufacturer Cicasa.
A Pike Research report indicates that the remote water meter reading market in Latin America will experience a compound annual growth rate of 27% during the next several years.
