What Pronutec does

Pronutec is a Spanish electronics manufacturer founded in 1987 and headquartered in Amorebieta-Etxano, Vizcaya, specializing in low-voltage electrical distribution equipment. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gorlan Group, an industrial conglomerate that also includes Telergon and Merytronic. Pronutec develops and manufactures NH fuse switches (including the TRIVER+ vertical design range), LV distribution panels (CUMA 21 modular insulated panels, CBTO optimized panels, CBTI outdoor panels, UNESA-compliant cabinets up to 4000A), photovoltaic switchgear up to 800V AC and 1500V DC, enclosures, and Genset Power Connectors. The portfolio is unified under the Zillion Smart Grids ecosystem (launched November 2025), which adds intelligent fuse switches (SFS), remote terminal units (RTU/RM), advanced analytics (LV-DNA), and automation (NEULAN automated panels, iTRAFO online load tap changers) to the core hardware offering.

The company serves four primary verticals: energy distribution utilities, green energy/renewables, industry, and railway. Distribution is exclusively through direct sales: a national network of 7 regional delegations covering Spain and an export sales organization with dedicated area managers serving more than 70 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania. Pronutec distributes SIBA fuses in Spain under a 25+ year exclusive agreement.
