Electroceramica SA

What Electroceramica SA does

Electroceramica SA is a Romanian epoxy resin insulator manufacturer founded in 1935 and headquartered at Ștefan cel Mare street nr. 19B, 401112, Turda, Cluj County. Originally established as the Porcelain National Manufactory "CORAL," the company transitioned into electrotechnical ceramics by 1945 and began epoxy resin insulator production in 2005. In 2012, after 77 years of ceramic production, management discontinued ceramics entirely to focus 100% on resin insulators. Since the 1999 privatization, the company has been majority-owned by Italy's Barberi Rubinetterie Industriali SRL and operates as part of the Barberi Group, which produces bushing components, low- and high-voltage porcelain insulators, and transformer valves.

The company produces standard and custom epoxy resin insulators covering voltage ranges from 1kV to 52kV, including ENEL-homologated products (ENEL DJ 1111 and ENEL DJ 1107) and specialized components for medium voltage switchgears, transformers, electronic sensors, and cable applications. Manufacturing is supported by 11 injection presses, a dual preparation plant with 1,000 kg/day capacity expandable to 2,000 kg/day, 15 pressure containers for material transport, and in-house testing capabilities including a high voltage laboratory plus quality control for partial discharge, X-ray inspection, dimensional checks, and glass transition temperature (Tg) measurement. Operations are ISO 9001 (TÜV SÜD) and ISO 14001 (AEROQ) certified, with each piece fully traceable throughout the manufacturing process.

Electroceramica operates a 100% export-oriented B2B sales model serving global clients including ABB Italy, Schneider Electric Italy, ENEL Italy, and other electrical equipment manufacturers, working through Kanban systems, open contracts, and spot orders. The company self-describes as the most important producer of resin insulators in Southeastern Europe. Primary customer segments are medium voltage switchgear manufacturers, with secondary applications in transformers, electronic sensors, and cable industries. Annual turnover is approximately 5 million EUR, and the company employs roughly 100 persons across two or three shifts (per the production capabilities source; firmographic data indicates 20, suggesting possible outdated or administrative-only count).
