What Elitech does

Elitech Technology, Inc. is a private, US-incorporated manufacturer founded in 1996 and headquartered in San Jose, California, with a parallel R&D and manufacturing operation in China and wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Germany. The company designs and sells temperature and humidity data loggers (USB single-use, USB reusable, WiFi/4G/Bluetooth real-time, and ultra-low temperature variants down to -196°C) and a broad HVAC/R diagnostic tool line spanning digital manifold gauges, infrared and heated-diode refrigerant leak detectors, vacuum pumps, digital pressure gauges, refrigerant charging scales, and thermal imagers. Under a Temtop sub-brand it also sells indoor and outdoor air quality monitors covering PM2.5/PM10, CO2, TVOC, and formaldehyde. Notable logos include Grainger, Schneider Electric, Panasonic, Dole, DSV, Zuellig Pharma, DeLaval, and IMBERA, with consumer reach through Amazon and Walmart.

The product stack is anchored by two software assets: the Elitech iCold cloud platform, which provides real-time temperature, humidity, and location monitoring with FDA-compliant data handling across Basic (free), Premium (around $19.98-$25.98/year), and Exclusive (around $39.98-$45.98/year) tiers, and the ElitechLog desktop software, which is FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant for configuration, graph display, and PDF/XLS/TXT export. Hardware SKUs include ILAC-traceable calibration certificate variants sold as $15 entry-level USB loggers up to $4,329 ultra-low temperature loggers and $600 professional HVAC tools. The company holds 80+ patents globally and maintains R&D centers in both the USA and China.

Elitech runs a hybrid B2B/B2C go-to-market combining direct e-commerce through its website, marketplace listings on Amazon and Walmart, industrial distribution via Grainger, an open distributor application program, and event-driven demand generation through trade shows such as Fruit Logistica Berlin and IFPA. Revenue is dominated by hardware unit sales, with iCold subscriptions and professional services (technical support, enterprise custom branding, API access) as layered recurring and services streams. The company is privately held, has no disclosed parent or outside funding rounds, and does not publish revenue.
