What Total Ground does

Total Ground is a 100% Mexican, privately-held industrial company founded in 1999 in Jalisco that designs, manufactures, and distributes electrical infrastructure protection solutions. Its core offering falls into two interconnected platforms: a physical hardware ecosystem (magneto-active grounding electrodes, KDA and piezoelectric lightning protection systems, SSVT surge suppressors, capacitor banks, guyed towers, Safe Connector mechanical connectors, and Tech Fussion exothermic welding consumables) and an Industrial IoT telemetry stack (TGONE PRO CMMS, TGONE Basic, TRX 4.0 Terrometer, Lightning Counter, TG NESS, and TG GATEWAY PRO) that centralizes field data via LoRaWAN, Sigfox, Modbus, OPC UA, and MQTT protocols. The company holds certifications across NOM, NMX, NFPA, IEEE, UL, ANCE, LAPEM, CE, FCC, and RoHS standards, and backs grounding systems with 20-year warranties.

The company monetizes primarily through B2B hardware sales via a network of more than 220 authorized distributors across Mexico, Latin America, the United States, and Canada, complemented by direct engineering services (site surveys, project design, soil resistivity studies, power quality analysis) and a CCAD distance-learning certification program. Customers are diversified across industrial, telecommunications, energy, construction, and government verticals, with no named enterprise anchors disclosed; pricing is quote-based and project-specific. Operations run from three Mexican offices (Guadalajara corporate, Mexico City, and Monterrey/San Pedro Garza García), with 51-100 employees and no institutional capital or M&A activity disclosed. Strategic emphasis is on extending the hardware franchise into connected, monitored infrastructure and on expanding the certified distributor and integrator ecosystem.

Product overview

Total Ground is a 100% Mexican technology company founded in 1999 in Jalisco, specializing in electrical infrastructure protection and grounding solutions. Its portfolio is organized into two interconnected platforms: (1) a physical product ecosystem encompassing grounding systems (Delta Tubular magnetically-active electrodes, VARIGROUND kits, ground compounds), lightning protection (piezoelectric/solid/dipole/Franklin tips with KDA kits), SSVT surge suppressors, capacitor banks, guyed towers, and two connector technologies (Safe Connector mechanical connectors and Tech Fussion exothermic welding); and (2) a digital IIoT/Telemetry platform comprising TGONE PRO (IoT platform with industrial CMMS), TGONE Basic (meter), TotalView (electrical meter), TRX 4.0 Terrometer (ground resistance monitor), Lightning Counter (Checkthor), TG NESS (RS-485/LoRaWAN converter), and TG GATEWAY PRO (multi-protocol gateway) — all interconnected via LoRaWAN, Sigfox, Modbus, OPC UA, and MQTT protocols to deliver real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance for grounding and electrical systems. The company complements its product portfolio with professional engineering services (site surveys, project design, resistivity studies, power quality analysis) and CCAD, a distance learning and certification platform.
