Where do we come from?
Joining our strengths
Today

INTEGRA Metering’s history goes back to 1928 when the Wasserzählerfabrik, later renamed Aquametro, was founded in Basel, Switzerland. For 89 years, the company strives to gain knowledge, know-how, and experience in the water and thermal energy business while building its reputation on a global scale with 5 international offices in Europe, Middle-East, and Asia.

2017 marks a significant milestone in the company history: Aquametro announces its merger with Yzatec, a French leading technology start-up founded in 2010 and renowned for its new generation of piezo-based ultrasonic water meters with embedded wireless IoT communication, resulting in the creation of the new INTEGRA Metering. The newly established company translates the strong will of combining both of its identities, namely the experienced and well-established Aquametro on one hand with the future-oriented and fast-moving Yzatec on the other hand.

Today, INTEGRA Metering provides a broad and complete range of solutions and products in the water and thermal energy industries, and builds on its over 90-years experience to deliver customized and quality services to water and thermal energy suppliers, utilities, municipalities, property management companies, and building operators. Thanks to its 200 committed employees in Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, the UAE, and Singapore as well as its long-lasting relationship with business partners all around the world, INTEGRA Metering is your trusted partner for traditional and latest smart technology metering in water and thermal energy products, services, and solutions.
