Ivy Metering Co.

What Ivy Metering Co. does

Ivy Metering Co. (IVY METERING CO.,LTD.) is a privately-held Chinese manufacturer of smart energy meters and IoT metering solutions, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Shanghai with production facilities in Tongxiang, Zhejiang. The company operates 51-100 employees and designs, manufactures, and sells electricity meters supporting multiple communication protocols (LoRaWAN, WiFi, GPRS/4G, RS485/Modbus, DL/T645, Bluetooth, IR) across 1-phase, 3-phase, DC, and CT-type configurations, including MID-certified and bidirectional variants. Its core product portfolio comprises Smart Energy Meters and the AEC-21Y-G1 Smart EV Charge Module, supplemented by accessories (latching relays, RCDs, CTs, shunts, gateways) and vertical application solutions for industrial, EV charging, solar PV, smart building, and public utility segments.

The company sells exclusively through a factory-direct model with no distributors or middlemen, reaching international B2B customers via trade show participation (Enlit Europe, ExpoElectronica, Indian Utility Week, Vietnam ETE, ENLIT ASIA, The smarter E Europe) and a strategic partner network spanning Europe, Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Africa. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of meters, EV charging modules, and IoT accessories to enterprise customers — primarily EV charging operators, solar/PV installers, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, public utilities, and smart grid infrastructure providers. The company holds a broad certification portfolio (MID, KEMA, SGS, UL, ANSI, PTB/Eichrecht, CE, IEC 62052/62053/62055) that enables deployment in regulated European fiscal-billing markets and is a key differentiator versus lower-tier Chinese competitors.

Product overview

Ivy Metering Co. is a manufacturer and supplier of smart energy meters and IoT metering solutions founded in 1994, headquartered in Shanghai with production in Zhejiang, China. The company's portfolio is organized into two core product families — Smart Energy Meters (including LoRaWAN, RS485 Modbus, WiFi, GPRS/4G, and DC variants) and Smart EV Charge Modules (AEC-21Y-G1 series) — supported by accessories (latching relays, RCDs, CTs, shunts) and vertical application solutions (Industrial, EV Charging, Solar/PV, Smart Building, Public Utilities, and GPRS 4G). The Smart Energy Meter family encompasses 1-Phase meters (EM114039-01/02, EM114023, EM114053-01, EM118089/90/91), 3-Phase meters (EM513083, EM519032/33/24, EM519025), DC meters (EM613001/002/005, EM619001/002), and CT-type meters, with MID-certified and bidirectional metering variants serving EV charging, solar PV net metering, and utility billing applications. LoRaWAN meters support multiple regional frequency bands (EU868, US915, AU915, AS923, RU864, KR920, IN865, EU433), while RS485/Modbus meters comply with IEC and DL/T645 standards. The AEC-21Y-G1 Smart EV Charge Module integrates charging control, bi-directional power metering, and leakage protection in a single DIN rail unit for Mode 3 AC EV charging. All products are distributed directly from the factory without distributors.
