Lineman

What Lineman does

Lineman (Pvt.) Ltd, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan, is an integrated electrical power engineering, manufacturing, and field-services company serving Pakistan's heavy industrial and utility sectors. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions low-voltage switchgear and motor control centres (IEC 61439 compliant, including the only domestically produced withdrawable variants), medium-voltage switchgear (6.3KV–11KV), cable management systems, distribution boards, and indigenously developed electrical testing equipment including primary current injection test sets and AC load banks. It is an official Siemens technology partner for LV Type Tested Switchgear, and operates a 40,000 sq.ft vertically integrated manufacturing facility in Lahore.

The company's business model combines custom hardware manufacturing, turnkey project construction (from 132KV grid stations down to extra-low-voltage electrification), design and consultancy using ETAP, DIgSILENT, and PSS simulation software, and recurring on-site field testing and commissioning services. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with quote-based, project-priced contracts and multi-year service retainers. Customers are predominantly large Pakistani industrial groups in cement (DG Cement, Lucky Cement, Cherat Cement, Power Cement, Maple Leaf), fertilizers (Engro Fertilizers), and oil & gas (OGDC), with additional exposure to power utilities, government infrastructure, and selected projects in Afghanistan. The company holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, Pakistan Engineering Council C-3 registration, and SECP registration.

Lineman monetizes through five revenue streams: switchgear product sales, engineering testing equipment sales, project construction services, design and consultancy services, and field testing and commissioning services. Pricing is fully custom and not publicly disclosed. The company competes on vertical integration, IEC compliance, Siemens technology access, and the ability to deliver turnkey electrical power solutions at lower cost than imported alternatives — a positioning particularly relevant to Pakistan's import-substitution industrial policy environment.

Core offering

Lineman is an integrated electrical power engineering, manufacturing, and field-services company that designs, manufactures, and supplies low voltage and medium voltage switchgear, motor control centres, cable management systems, distribution boards, and electrical testing equipment (primary current injection test sets, AC load banks). The company complements its manufactured products with design and consultancy, turnkey project construction (from 132KV substations to LV/ELV levels), and on-site field testing and commissioning services for industrial and commercial customers in Pakistan.

Product overview

Lineman (Pvt.) Ltd is an integrated electrical power engineering, manufacturing, and field-services company that operates as a single unified offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company's product portfolio encompasses six core manufactured products: Low Voltage Switchgear & Motor Control Centre (compliant with IEC-61439-1&2), Medium Voltage Switchgear (6.3KV to 11KV rated), Cable Management System (cable trays and ladders per IEC 61537:2006), Primary Current Injection Set (up to 6000A), AC Load Bank (up to 1500KVA), and Distribution Boards. These products are complemented by three service offerings: Design & Consultancy (power system studies using ETAP/DIgSILENT/PSS software), Project Construction Services (turnkey installation and commissioning from 132KV to LV/ELV levels), and Field Testing Services (on-site testing for transformers, circuit breakers, protection relays, and cables). The company also serves as an official Siemens partner for LV Type Tested Switchgear and allied products.
