The opportunity

The result is that more electrical power can reach consumers with minimal environmental impact, shorter project times, and lower investment costs. This pioneering technology is developed at the Power Quality unit in Västerås and sold to customers worldwide.

We manage our installed base around the world, serving customers with a reliable system.
