During the exhibition, the S.H.METERS booth attracted a large number of visitors for exchanges. Water utility representatives, engineers, and industry experts from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and other countries showed strong interest in the company's smart water meter products and NRW management solutions, with multiple on-site technical demonstrations receiving positive feedback.
Precisely Addressing East African Water Industry Pain Points
Non-Revenue Water (NRW) was a core topic at this conference. Industry data shows that up to 48% of treated water produced by Kenyan water utilities is lost before it is billed-far exceeding the global benchmark of approximately 20%, costing water utilities billions of Kenyan shillings annually.
The full range of products exhibited by S.H.METERS-covering IoT smart water meters, ultrasonic water meters, STS prepaid water meters, mechanical water meters, AMR/AMI remote transmission platforms, and billing solutions-is precisely designed to address this challenge, with the core promise of "Increasing Revenue + Improving Efficiency."
A technical manager from a Kenyan water utility company, after learning in detail about the performance of ultrasonic water meters at the booth, commented: "We are looking for solutions that can accurately measure and effectively reduce NRW. S.H.METERS' products seem very targeted."
An industry visitor who came to the booth commented: "Having a local team means faster after-sales response, which is very important to us."
An S.H.METERS exhibition representative stated: "Our participation in WASPA 2026 was not only to demonstrate our technical capabilities but also to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual needs of the East African water market. Many water utilities have shown strong interest in our prepaid and remote meter reading solutions, which gives us great confidence in future cooperation."
Based on the exchange outcomes from this exhibition, S.H.METERS will advance the following tasks:
- Technical Follow-up: Arrange one-on-one solution designs by the technical team for specific project needs gathered during the exhibition
- Product Optimization: Continuously optimize product adaptability based on feedback on water quality and usage environments in the East African market
- Service Deepening: Further improve the localized technical support and after-sales service system through the Kenya branch
- Cooperation Follow-up: Maintain communication with water utilities and industry partners connected during the exhibition to promote partnership implementation
