Acrel

What Acrel does

Acrel Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 300286.SZ) is a Chinese high-tech manufacturer and solution provider specializing in power monitoring, energy management, and electrical safety systems. Founded and listed in 2012, the company is headquartered in Shanghai's Jiading district with manufacturing operations in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Jiangsu Acrel Electrical Manufacturing Co., LTD. Acrel offers a vertically integrated portfolio spanning cloud-based energy management software, IoT gateways, multi-function energy meters (DIN-rail, AC, DC, wireless, prepayment), current transformers and Hall-effect sensors, motor protectors, residual current relays, medium-voltage protection relays, active power filters, power quality analyzers, and isolated IT power systems for medical and industrial applications. The company has deployed more than 8,000 systemic solutions across China and pursues international markets through distributors (e.g., REVTECH WIND SOLUTIONS in Brazil) and trade exhibition presence in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

The company's revenue is generated through three principal streams: hardware product sales (the dominant stream covering the full device catalog), software and EMS subscriptions (e.g., Acrel-2000MG Micro-grid Energy Management System), and managed systemic solutions combining cloud platform software with sensors. Pricing is custom quotation-based with no public list pricing, a 1-unit minimum order quantity, and sample-order support — indicating a transactional enterprise sales model. Acrel pursues a hybrid go-to-market combining direct field sales from Shanghai HQ with an international distributor network, supported by marketing through industry exhibitions (Hannover Messe, Vietnam ETE&ENERTEC EXPO, ICCC Istanbul), digital content, and paid search. The customer base spans industrial and commercial enterprises, healthcare facilities, the renewable energy sector, residential property managers, and power utilities. Certifications across VDE (Germany), UL (US), MID (EU), CE, and IEC standards support multi-region regulatory compliance.
