VANCOUVER, June 7, 2011 /CNW/ - China Keli Electric Company Ltd. (TSX-V: ZKL) ("China Keli" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has been granted three more patents by the China State Intellectual Property Office, which patents facilitate the use of automatic control systems for switchgear in Smart Grid transmission/distribution systems. This brings the total number of issued patents that Keli owns to eighteen, and marks the expansion of Keli's intellectual property portfolio into the Smart Grid area.

"We've always considered Keli to be an innovative product developer responding to the needs of the marketplace." said Lou Meng Cheong, China Keli's CEO, "Capital expenditures in China on Smart Grid amount to tens of billions of dollars this year, and each year for the rest of the decade. Keli has already sold some product into the Smart Grid sector, and we anticipate that our strong position in Smart Grid products will win us larger orders both this year and in the future."

"These three newly issued patents clearly demonstrate that Keli is more than a manufacturing and sales business; we are also recognized as a highly competent product development company", said Madame Wong, Chairperson of China Keli, "It's important that investors recognize that Keli is both a technology company and a sophisticated manufacturer."
