For over half a century, Lima has had sustained electrical coverage despite corruption, economic turmoil and military interference, thanks in part to a family business: Promelsa. Their dependability, determination and positioning as a model for Peruvian innovation have garnered the longstanding support of their community, whose access to electricity is contingent on Promelsa’s sustainability.
Following a humble start importing copper wire, Promelsa, founded by Jose Mallqui Peña in 1961, has grown into one of the world’s leading suppliers for all things related to power, including transformers, industrial controls as well as low and medium voltage switchgear. Their products form the electrical infrastructure of cities across Peru and around the world.
Promelsa, now in the hands of the second generation, is looking towards the future by investing in the development of automation. They know that sustainability in the digital age means integrating change and proactively embracing innovation.
