Major prepaid meter producers

The major providers of prepayment meter devices include Atlantic Meters, Conlog, Meinecke Meters, Actaris and Bateman.

Atlantic Meters (Pty) Ltd., part of the British privately-owned Atlantic Group, was established in 1997. It is involved in both the provision of traditional and prepayment metering within South Africa and other developing countries. The company has also targeted markets in Africa and Latin America with pending contracts with Namibia, Curacao, and Brazil.

Conlog was founded in 1965. It is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of prepayment electricity, water and solar metering systems. It acquired the Bambamanzi group of businesses, Africa’s largest prepaid water metering company. In 1999, it was responsible for the installation of over 500 community prepayment standpipes throughout Thabanchu. The adjacent municipality of Botshabelo Masepala also placed orders. At that time the company also targeted more than 70 developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Far East, Europe and South and Central America.

Actaris is a worldwide provider of meters, systems and services active in all utility sectors: electricity, gas, water and heat. Actaris is the largest provider of meters and systems. In 1999, Schlumberger RMS, in conjunction with North West Water Limited (NWW), was contracted to deliver more than 280,000 domestic water meters to the United Kingdom.

Meinecke Meters secured one of the world’s largest water utility development contracts from Brazil.
