ELSTER WINS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD FOR PRODUCT INNOVATION
Elster (NYSE: ELT) announced today that it has received a Product Innovation Award for its innovative V210 volumetric polymer water meter as part of the European Utility Awards. This prestigious award was announced during the Metering Europe conference in Vienna.
The European Utility Awards jury judging the competition stated “Elster has played a pioneering role in the innovation of polymer body water meters, with over a million installed worldwide. The V210 polymer water meter was developed to comply with the latest EU and other regional standards, such as UK WIS 4-32-19, and it is AMR compatible. With polymer body the V210 meter is about half the weight and has carbon footprint of a third of its brass body counterparts, and it is suitable for all installations including land that may be contaminated. Additionally, over 98 percent of the V210 polymer meter can be recycled into grade three plastic products.”
“We are thrilled to have received the prestigious award for product innovation. This accolade recognises the substantial investment and expertise of Elster’s team to develop the V210 polymer water meter”, commented Tim Gabriel, senior vice president operations of Elster’s global water business.
“The innovative V210 polymer water meter with a wireless AMR system has been specifically developed to support water utilities with their watermanagement programs,” he added.
