Meeting uniquely North America needs for 20 years

Incorporated in 2004, KISTERS North America is a subsidiary of KISTERS.

With staff across the U.S. and Canada, our team understands and meets local customer needs with intimate knowledge of KISTERS innovations and their use worldwide. We work closely with organizations, utilities and consultants to overcome and ease all aspects of the data value-chain to inform sustainable management of water, weather, and manufacturing resources.
