Utilex Engineering Pvt. Ltd. was founded by Mr. Gopal Krishnan M., Mg. Director in the year 1989. Mr. Gopal Krishnan started his career since 1970 in the Power Transmission Line and did many projects in various companies before he started Utilex Engineering Pvt. Ltd. in 1989. He visited over 40 times to South East Asia and won many contracts for supply of 11kV, 22kV and 33kV line hardware & accessories from many States Electricity Boards in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, and Thailand. Since then, Utilex has developed more than 200 items in overhead transmission line hardware and Switchgear components for exports.

We also supply Porcelain Insulators along with our Pole Line hardware and we have our Associate Manufacturer having a Modern Plant in Collaboration with NGK Japan. We are directly buying the insulators from them, thoroughly under our inspection and stuffing the containers directly at factory to avoid breakage.

Our Manufacturing Units :

2) Also Steel Forged hardware such as Anchor Shackle, Ball Link, Socket Eye, Arcing horn, Insulator Pins, and Cross Arms, other hardware. Here also we get the Hot Dip galvanizing done from a specialized unit outside.

For Line Hardware, we have also more than 20 vendors, other than our own units. We give them drawings/specifications and our dies and tools with raw material, to process line hardware, and then our engineers test the quality of each product before packing for export. This way our production capacity is increased to meet many project supplies at a time.

We strictly do the quality control before packing of each item, and specific standard is maintained. Sometime, we get the entire goods tested by 3rd party quality inspectors like SGS / QSS etc. Since 20 years from inception, there was not even a single item rejected or reported failure in our supplies to electricity boards / contractors aboard. Also we have test certificates for all our products from CPRI (Central Power Research Institute) a government of India test lab.
