What EPLI does

EPLI S.A.C. is a privately held Peruvian manufacturer and distributor of electrical and power-electronics equipment, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Breña, Lima. The company designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes power and distribution transformers (oil-immersed up to 100 MVA and 138 kV, plus cast-resin dry-type up to 3 MVA and 33 kV), medium-voltage switchgear, variable speed drives, electronic soft starters, motor control centers, electric panels and cabinets, electric motors, gear speed reducers, UPS systems, power-quality analyzers, surge protection devices, and complementary electrical equipment. Core manufacturing capability rests on automated iron cutting with 45-degree step-lap precision, automated winding lines, French-technology vacuum drying and filling chambers rated for transformers above 100 MVA, and two in-house testing laboratories compliant with NTP 370.002, IEC 60076, and ANSI C57.12.

The business combines in-house manufacturing with distribution of international brands — Invertek (UK drives), Delta (Taiwan HMI/servo/temperature controllers), BJEM (China motors), Sarel (Italy medium-voltage switchgear), Vacon (drives), Frako (capacitor banks), Chint (electrical equipment), MaxStream and Radwin (wireless telemetry), and SKF (bearings). Revenue is generated through quote-based, custom-engineered direct sales to enterprise customers, supported by three plants (Breña, Lima, Chilca) and three commercial offices (Lima, Arequipa, Piura), plus a post-sale services stream covering PLC programming, automation, preventive maintenance, repair, and dielectric oil analysis. Customers are concentrated in Peruvian mining (Southern Peru Copper, Antamina, Cerro Verde, Barrick, Buenaventura, Minsur, Volcan, Yanacocha, Chinalco, Shougang), electric utilities (Hidrandina, Luz del Sur, Enersur, EDEGEL, Electro Puno, Electro Sur), oil & gas (Graña y Montero Petrolera, Savia Perú, Petro Tech), agroindustry, and fishery. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and is pursuing OEA (Authorized Economic Operator) status with SUNAT.
