What Ellego does
ELLEGO Powertec Oy is a Finnish family-owned designer and manufacturer of power-electronics hardware founded in 1979 and headquartered in Halikko (Salo), Finland. The company builds battery-backed DC power systems (the EDC family — EDC-F for general industry, EDC-V for marine/offshore, EDC-DC for DC/DC conversion, and EDC-F Swe for the Swedish market), thyristor rectifiers (PRT™, in production since 1983), constant-voltage battery chargers (EVV™, in continuous use since 1987), AC/DC inverter centers (EAC), compact rectifier modules (PVF800, PVF-R3000), and a VELA™ monitoring unit with IEC 61850 and Modbus TCP/IP interfaces. Its airport business centers on PECS hybrid CCR power supplies conforming to IEC 61820-3-2:2023, paired with the proprietary ELLED™ driverless LED airfield lighting system that eliminates fixture-level electronics and is marketed as delivering up to 95% energy reduction versus halogen and 70% versus 6.6 A LED.
The company serves four primary vertical markets — energy and transmission, industrial process (surface treatment, water treatment, paper), marine (over 300 ship projects delivered and certified by seven major classification societies), and airports (30+ years in AGL) — plus a contract-manufacturing line that builds customer-designed power electronics at the Salo plant. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales, custom quotation-based pricing, long project cycles typical of critical-infrastructure procurement, and recurring lifecycle services (commissioning, preventive maintenance, modernization, spares). The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, holds EcoVadis Bronze (2024 and 2025), runs the Salo facility on 100% renewable wind electricity, and ships globally.
Go-to-market is concentrated and specialized: a small direct sales team with product-specific contacts ([email protected] for AGL, [email protected] for general products, [email protected] for service), participation in targeted trade fairs (Sähkö, Inter Airport Europe, Botnia Industrial Day, Elfack, SMM), and thought-leadership through LinkedIn Live webinars and published customer references such as FINAVIA at Turku Airport, Kromatek, Kova-Kromi, and Valter Paper. Operations remain under family ownership (Managing Director Rami Arvonen), with no external equity, no disclosed revenue, and a headcount band of 11–50.
