Starting in 1872, when Chamon and Nicolas first joined forces to begin producing gas, then water and electricity meters in France, the first manufacturing facility was built 15 years later in Italy. When Sangamo Electric Co. was acquired, and Itron founded in 1977, meter production was moved to West Union, South Carolina. In 1984, Itron experienced global expansion into the Asian market and developed new manufacturing plants in France and the U.K. By 2006, Itron consulting teams were created to pursue growing opportunities in energy efficiency programs, renewables, conservation and demand response. Itron gained national recognition from the White House in 2010, for its commitment to U.S.-based manufacturing and contributions to a clean energy economy.
