QETAF Electrics

What QETAF Electrics does

QETAF Electrics is a Saudi Arabian manufacturer of electrical switchgear and power distribution equipment, established in 2012 in Riyadh under Ministry of Industry License No. 1010283083 and operating as part of the First Gulf Companies group. The company serves government, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential end-markets across Saudi Arabia and the broader Arab region, supplying custom-manufactured power distribution infrastructure for facilities such as government ministries, security agencies, hospitals, hotels, factories, pumping stations, and residential compounds.

The product portfolio spans three core pillars manufactured under a SIEMENS technology partnership: SIMOPRIME air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear (17.5–24 kV, type-tested per IEC 62271-200 and combined with SION vacuum circuit breakers), the SIVACON S8 low-voltage power distribution board family (up to 7,000 A, type-tested per IEC 61439-2, with peak withstand current up to 330 kA), and a full-range busway/busduct system spanning 25 A to 30,000 A. The LV range extends to motor control centers, automatic transfer switches, synchronizing panels, capacitor banks, and specialized panels, complemented by ALPHA UNIVERSAL and ALPHA distribution boards for lighter-duty applications. Manufacturing relies on CNC machines, welding and hydraulic machinery, busbar cutting equipment, and a powder-coating oven, with a documented five-level quality control process and ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certification.

The business model is hardware-centric: revenue is generated primarily through project-based, custom-manufactured sales of switchgear, panel boards, and busway systems, supplemented by preventive, periodic, and conditional maintenance services including on-site installation, commissioning, and pre-commissioning audits. Go-to-market is an enterprise field-sales motion led by electrical engineers who respond to tender enquiries from general contractors on large government and commercial projects; pricing is quote-based per project rather than publicly listed, and contracts are often multi-year in nature.

Core offering

QETAF Electrics custom-manufactures medium-voltage switchgear (SIMOPRIME 17.5–24 kV), low-voltage power distribution boards (SIVACON S8 up to 7,000 A), and busbar trunking systems (25 A–30,000 A) under SIEMENS technology partnership, all type-tested to IEC standards. The company complements its manufacturing with preventive, periodic, and conditional maintenance, on-site installation, commissioning, and pre-commissioning audit services for switchgear.

Product overview

QETAF Electrics is a Saudi Arabian manufacturer of electrical switchgear and power distribution equipment, producing both medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) solutions. The core product portfolio centers on three main offerings: SIMOPRIME medium-voltage switchgear (17.5–24 kV air-insulated, IEC 62271-200 type-tested, manufactured under SIEMENS technology partnership) and the SIVACON S8 low-voltage power distribution board family (up to 7,000 A, IEC 61439-2 type-tested), complemented by the ALPHA UNIVERSAL and ALPHA distribution board sub-lines for lighter-duty applications. A third major pillar is the Busway System — a full-range busbar trunking portfolio spanning isolated-phase, segregated-phase, non-segregated-phase, sandwich, compact-air, and lighting busbar trunking solutions across 25 A to 30,000 A. Together these form an integrated power distribution ecosystem from medium-voltage intake through low-voltage distribution to end-load control. Additionally, the company provides maintenance and service contracts covering preventive, periodic, and conditional maintenance for both MV and LV equipment.
