Landis+Gyr EMEA introduces new company name: EYKON
31 July 2026
News
The introduction of EYKON marks an important milestone in the evolution of a company built on a strong foundation of trusted customer relationships, extensive deployed infrastructure, and many decades of experience supporting electricity, gas, water, and thermal networks across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
While Landis+Gyr Group will continue to operate in America and South East Asia, EYKON stands as an independent force, serving customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. EYKON is more than a name; it establishes a distinct identity for a trusted enterprise, reflecting the confidence, expertise, and responsibility developed over time.
“EYKON is a new name, but it is not a new starting point,” said Robert Evans, CEO. “It reflects a business built through the work of our teams, the trust of our customers and the experience we have developed across our markets. We are proud of the journey that has brought us here and confident in our ability to continue building and evolving the business under our new identity.”
“We are proud to introduce our new name, EYKON, which is backed by the same dedicated team and trusted solutions that have driven our growth for decades. Our commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality smart metering solutions remains steadfast, as does our dedication to our customers’ success,” said Landis+Gyr EMEA’s Africa CEO, Mr. Connel Ngcukana.
“This exciting new chapter builds on years of proven expertise, trusted customer relationships, and a legacy of powering essential infrastructure – while reaffirming our assurance in a secure and prosperous future,” Ngcukana concluded.
The new EYKON name and corporate identity will be shared in the coming months. During this period, the business will continue to operate as Landis+Gyr EMEA.
