Landis+Gyr is a Swiss company operating in the Electronic Equipment & Instruments industry. The company is an industry leader in energy management solutions. The company specializes in smart metering, grid intelligence, and advanced energy management technologies for utilities and end users. Landis+Gyr’s meters and systems are installed at homes, businesses, and across transmission and distribution networks, enabling utilities not only to measure and monitor consumption for accurate billing, but also to control and optimize grid operations.
The company was founded in 1896 by Richard Theiler as Electrotechnisches Institut Theiler and was renamed Landis & Gyr in 1905 when Heinrich Landis and Karl Heinrich Gyr took over management of the company. Since its foundation, the company has been a leader in the electric meter market.
Investment rationale
Landis & Gyr's meter solutions allow utilities and consumers to gain insight into their use of energy and as a result enable them to achieve energ savings. Furthermore, its meters are also important building blocks for decentralised smart grids. The current decentralisation trend is needed as there is an increasing amount of the energy generated from alternative energy sources such as wind or solar. The company's international presence, its extensive experience and its broad portfolio offering of meter solutions place it well to contribute to the energy transition.
