From its humble beginnings in 1962, the company has undergone many challenges and has responded to customer needs with flexibility and dynamism. Having had a resounding success in the Medium & High Voltage arena, the next area of organic growth for the company was in the Low Voltage (LV) segment.

The company’s key objectives were delivered by my team, after an in-depth study and careful understanding of the diverse customer requirements and by being able to promptly offer unique solutions. Our strategies have paid huge dividends and we stand out as a Benchmark to the rest in the industry.
