Asia

Present in Asia for over 40 years, Elster runs gas, electricity and water metering operations in more than 20 Asian countries, including China, Korea, India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Working via wholly owned entities and joint ventures, the company's products have been instrumental in setting the high metering standards now established in the region.

With this history, Elster is well positioned to capture the opportunities emerging in the high-growth Asian economy.

As the economies of these countries grow apace, new transmission systems for electricity are being built; the exploration of gas is being stepped up, while a growing number of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals and pipelines are being established.

Couple this with a drive to expand potable water distribution pipelines and introduce measures to reduce water shortages and the growing need for metering in all sectors of this region is huge.
