S&S Power Switchgears Limited

Established in 1975, S & S Power Switchgear Limited operates as the Holding Company overseeing a conglomerate comprising Acrastyle Power (India) Limited, Acrastyle Ltd U.K, S&S Power Switchgear Equipment Ltd, Acra style EPS Technologies Ltd, and Acrastyle Switchgear Ltd U.K. It operates within the Power and T&D Equipment sector, specializing in Switchgear, Protection & Control Systems, and related products and services for the transmission and distribution of electricity. In 1990, management control shifted to Sushil Jalan and Associates of the Jalan group, marking a pivotal transition. The company boasts an extensive portfolio encompassing high-tension and low-tension electrical protection equipment, including circuit-breakers, miniature circuit breakers, isolators up to 420 kV, and fusegears. Pioneering technological advancements, it introduced vacuum breaker technology through collaboration with Brush Switchgear of the Hawker Siddeley group, UK, and in 1985, partnered with South Wales Switchgear to launch a new series of SF6 indoor and outdoor circuit-breakers. Further expanding its repertoire, it collaborated with AEG Germany in 1988 to manufacture miniature circuit-breakers. The company serves a diverse clientele, including state electricity boards, major corporations, and international entities across various industries. Strategic acquisitions, such as Railway Products (India) in 1992, have strengthened its position, transforming acquired entities into wholly-owned subsidiaries. Joint ventures with Siemens and Union Switch & Signal have facilitated expansion into new territories and product lines. Noteworthy ventures include S & S Power Corporation (SSPC) in Malaysia, focusing on circuit breaker manufacturing. The company's commitment to quality is underscored by ISO 9001 Certification and ongoing audits. In response to challenges, such as financial distress leading to a reference to the BIFR, the company embarked on rehabilitation measures. Innovations continue with the introduction of products tailored for specific applications, such as the RD145 Disconnector for ICE LOADING applications. Expansion efforts culminated in the establishment of a new plant in M M Nagar, near Chennai, housing units for Control and Relay Panels, and Medium Voltage Switchgear Manufacturing. Strategic alliances, including the Joint Venture with Coelme Italy for EHV Disconnectors, bolster its technological capabilities and market presence. Collaboration with EPS Switchgear UK for product upgrades demonstrates a commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the industry.
