Approximately 6,300 employees worldwide in fiscal year 2024 and just over 6,000 employees in fiscal year 2025 (source: landisgyr.com, landisgyr.com). In fiscal year 2024, the company generated net sales of USD 1,729.3 million (source: landisgyr.com).

What They Do

Landis+Gyr is a global provider of smart metering and energy management technologies for utilities, known for electric, gas, heat, and water meters as well as the related software and services that connect and analyze them (source: landisgyr.com, landisgyr.com). Their core business includes the development and delivery of meters and related infrastructure for electricity, gas, heat, and water, as well as software platforms, data collection, communication, analytics, and managed services (source: landisgyr.com, wikipedia.org). In fiscal year 2025, about 25% of net sales came from software and software-enabled services, highlighting the importance of their digital business (source: landisgyr.com). Landis+Gyr serves utilities and grid operators worldwide, focusing on smart metering systems and connected energy infrastructure—not energy generation or renewables (source: landisgyr.com, landisgyr.com). The company operates the world’s largest utility IoT network in Japan, with over 180 million connected smart devices and more than 1.5 billion meter readings per day (source: landisgyr.com).

Projects & Track Record

Landis+Gyr primarily acts as a technology and equipment supplier for utilities, so its projects typically involve large-scale meter system rollouts, platform deployments, and long-term service programs (source: landisgyr.com, landisgyr.com). The order backlog stood at USD 3.645 billion at the end of H1 2024 and rose to around USD 4.0 billion by H1 2025, reflecting major utility contracts and ongoing deployments (source: landisgyr.cz, landisgyr.com). Their geographic footprint is broad, with a focus on the USA and Europe; Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and Canada are also key regions (source: landisgyr.com). In fiscal year 2024, the company generated USD 965 million in revenue in the Americas, USD 607 million in EMEA, and USD 158 million in Asia-Pacific (source: landisgyr.com). In 2026, the EMEA business was sold to AURELIUS, including the EMEA metering portfolio, software, services, five production sites, and about 2,800 employees, marking a significant strategic shift (source: wikipedia.org, landisgyr.com).

Recent Developments

In fiscal year 2024, Landis+Gyr reported net sales of USD 1.73 billion, a significant order backlog, and projected revenue growth of 5% to 8% for fiscal year 2025 with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.5% to 12.0% (source: landisgyr.com). Additionally, the company’s products helped save 9 million tons of CO2 in 2024 (source: landisgyr.eu). In fiscal year 2025, net sales were USD 1,166.2 million, adjusted EBITDA was USD 167.5 million, with software and software-enabled services accounting for about 25% of revenue (source: landisgyr.com). In March 2025, the EMEA business including the electric vehicle charging station segment was divested and treated as discontinued operations (source: landisgyr.com, landisgyr.com). The EMEA divestiture to AURELIUS was completed in April 2026, significantly changing the company’s structure (source: wikipedia.org). The company also announced a move to a new headquarters in Cham planned for 2026 (source: landisgyr.com).
