ST. LOUIS, May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aclara Technologies and its Affiliates, including Aclara Meters (collectively "Aclara"), leading suppliers of smart infrastructure and metering solutions to electric, gas and water utilities, have taken a significant step to support their growing international business with the opening of a new headquarters for international operations in Bilbao, Spain and a new office in Cambridge, United Kingdom (UK).   

The Bilbao headquarters will serve the international market in EMEA, Asia, and Latin America. The new facility will support a comprehensive portfolio of solutions to electric, water and gas utilities, with an emphasis on the electric and water sectors, and will house Aclara's center for developing meters that comply with IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) requirements. The state-of-the-art test facility also features a full support, meter-development test lab on site. Located nearby, a second facility is dedicated to meter manufacturing and logistics.  

The Cambridge office supports Aclara's expanding business and its technical support team in the UK. The facility is the hub for rolling out smart meters to Aclara's energy customers and the growing smart grid sensor business that serves distribution network operators in the UK, as well as Aclara's growing gas and water business in Europe.

"These developments are an important aspect of our transformation into a new Aclara, as we strategically expand our global reach in Europe and other parts of the world, and increase the breadth of our offering to span game-changing, end-to-end solutions for electric, gas and water utilities around the world," said Allan Connolly, Aclara's President and Chief Executive Officer.
