An exclusive distribution agreement covering Maddalena’s entire product portfolio for the German water utility sector, with smart metering at the heart of the partnership’s future development.
Maddalena S.p.A. and Biesenthal announce the signing of an exclusive distribution agreement on 15 October 2026 for the German water utility market. The agreement covers the entire Maddalena product portfolio dedicated to this segment and lays the foundation for long-term joint development.
The partnership is part of Maddalena S.p.A.’s growth strategy in Germany, where the company already operates through Maddalena GmbH. Under the agreement, Biesenthal will serve as Maddalena’s exclusive distribution partner for the water utility sector. The collaboration brings together Maddalena S.p.A.’s industrial capabilities and metering technologies with Biesenthal’s market knowledge, established sales network and technical expertise, providing water utilities with a reliable and competent local partner.
The product offering includes both conventional and smart water meters, addressing current metering requirements while supporting the progressive digitalisation of existing meter installations. Smart metering and remote meter reading will be the main focus of the partnership’s future development, within the broader product portfolio dedicated to the water utility sector.
For German customers, the agreement provides access to Maddalena S.p.A.’s product portfolio through a well-established local partner with expertise in water meter selection, application and operation. Biesenthal’s in-house metrological testing laboratory further strengthens local technical support, complementing its commercial activities with specialised metrological expertise and testing capabilities. Close cooperation between the manufacturer and its local partner will help address the specific operational needs of water utilities and support their technological development.
The partnership brings together two long-established family-owned companies.
Founded in 1919 and now managed by the fourth generation, Maddalena S.p.A. designs and manufactures water and thermal energy metering instruments at its production facility in Povoletto, near Udine, Italy.
Founded in 1963 and now in its third generation, Biesenthal is based in Weißenthurm, Germany, combining extensive experience in water metering with an established commercial and technical presence in the German market.
Metrological expertise, business continuity and a strong commitment to quality form the shared foundation of this partnership. Through this agreement, Maddalena S.p.A. and Biesenthal reaffirm their commitment to building a lasting presence in the sector and supporting German water utilities in modernising and digitalising their water metering infrastructure.
