HISTORICAL KNOW-HOW

A COMPANY WITH EXPERTISE IN ELECTRICAL INSULATION

The century-old know-how of the company gives it seriousness and international renown.

The company is in France in the Drôme in a porcelain basin. We find other companies using this material (tableware, earthenware, ...)

Ceralep quickly positioned itself in electrical insulators, the main reason for this choice is the parent company of the time, nearby, Merlin Gerin of Grenoble

Ceralep specializes in the manufacture of porcelain electrical insulators by expanding its range, capacity, and production tools.

The successors of CERALEP's shareholders (Merlin Gerin, Alsthom, Keramik Laufen, Ceram PCC Insulators) have also brought a unique experience in the field of insulators for very high voltage.
