Danaher separated its water quality and product identification businesses in 2023, creating a company that tests and treats water and prints the codes and labels on consumer packaging. Both halves sell consumables and services against an installed base, so revenue recurs without depending on new equipment orders. Water utilities and food producers buy under regulatory requirement rather than discretion. Employees held Danaher awards that converted at separation, resetting cost basis and holding periods. Headquarters are in Waltham, Massachusetts.
