Zwanenburg-The Netherlands, September 20, 2016 – AEG Power Solutions a global vendor of power supply systems and provider of industrial power supply and renewable energy solutions, is inaugurating its celebration campaign of the company’s 50th anniversary in the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands, the company originates from the industrial battery background of the group. It began on May 26th 1966 as an import company and later, Nife subsidiary and production site, for rectifiers, inverters and UPS. Nife Accumulatoren B.V. was founded from Koopmans & Co initially for business with the Dutch Rail Way and the Dutch Royal Navy. The company site began with 11 employees originally selling batteries (NiCd batteries with chargers, imported from Sweden) for on-board rail applications and switch gear as well as batteries for naval shipping. Nato stock numbers from that period are still ordered to this day.
When Nife was acquired by Saft Power Systems, the more recent part of its history began, as some year’s later, Saft Power Systems and AEG Power Supply Systems merged forming what is today known as, AEG Power Solutions.
AEG Power Solutions’ competence in the application of AC and DC technologies has made it an expert in securing highly reliable power to all types of critical applications, ultimately protecting people, assets and data. Today, AEG Power Solutions operates and directly serves customers in 17 countries. “We have strived to serve our customers from the Netherlands for over 50 years. Our longevity here and indeed throughout the world is a testament to the commitment our people show to meeting customers’ needs through dedication and innovation. A focus on exceeding our customers’ expectations will ensure our success for many years to come “, says Jeffrey Casper, CEO of AEG Power Solutions.
The Netherlands’ jubilee is an opportunity for the company to travel back in time, and recall a part of its long and eventful history that began at the peak of the Industrial Revolution with the creation of AEG by Emil Rathenau. To honor their 50th Anniversary in the Netherlands, AEG PS will be running an anniversary campaign through its social networks. AEG Power Solutions invites customers to visit their Facebook page and join in on the milestone celebrations and show their part in the history of the group, by contributing pictures indicating where AEG PS’ products secure their power in real-life.
