In 2015, Salicru is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a number of commemorative activities under the slogan '50 years of energy'.

From its founding in 1965 with the opening of a modest electromechanical workshop in the Barcelona town of Sant Celoni to now, Salicru has managed to consolidate itself as a leading company in the power electronics sector, both nationally and internationally.

. Salicru is Spain’s market-leading power electronics company.
. It boasts production centres in Spain and China and its products are sold in over 40 countries.

Worldwide presence

Salicru currently has two production centres. The first is in Palautordera (Barcelona), from where it supplies the European and American markets. The second centre is located in Beijing (China) and supplies markets in Asia and Africa. 

To market its equipment and technology solutions, Salicru boasts a network of 14 offices in Spain and 7 overseas subsidiaries which enable it to have a presence in over 40 countries. Its current workforce is 170 people and its turnover in 2014 was 35 million euros.

Salicru is Spain’s largest power electronics company and market leader in each of the segments in which it operates with its products. Spain is also where it enjoys its largest volume of sales of products and services, with Catalonia and Madrid being the largest markets, accounting for 53% of all domestic sales. The manufacturing and marketing of its UPS product range provides Salicru with most of its sales - 74% of the total. 

Salicru markets power electronics products in the industrial and domestic, electrical, IT, street lighting and telecommunications markets and, more recently, in the field of energy efficiency and renewables.

As well as being a manufacturing company, Salicru also offers electrical engineering consulting services in which it develops and implements ‘ad hoc’ technology projects related to different challenges associated with power supply in the business world.

This experience and positioning has led Salicru to work with major national and international clients and to collaborate on projects as iconic as lighting the access to the Great Wall of China, photovoltaic power in the Galapagos Islands, energy coverage of AVE rail lines in Spain, emergency power supply to the turbines of the frigates of the Spanish Navy and lighting the Mega towers of Barcelona Airport.
