Our History

Since 1896 Landis+Gyr (originally known as "Electrotechnishes Institut Theiler and Co.") has been designing and manufacturing high quality, state of the art electricity meters. Based in Zug, Switzerland, the company had access to a highly skilled workforce and distribution system throughout Europe. In 1924 the company expanded globally with the establishment its first overseas office in New York.

1981 saw the advent of electronic meters and Landis+Gyr was there at the forefront, developing and launching its first range of digital meters in the industrial and commercial segments.

Through the late 90s the company saw a series of different investors and owners, including Elektrowatt, KKR and Siemens. In 2004 Bayard Capital of Australia purchased the company with a vision of building the premier energy management company in the world that would combine positive environmental outcomes with the company's culture.

Since Bayard's acquisition other companies have been added to the Group, creating the world's leading powerhouse in energy metering solutions. Bayard also changed its name to Landis+Gyr Holdings. Today the company has operations spanning more than 30 countries and serving all of the major utilities in every continent.
