History of Kyte Powertech

Transforming the world of energy every day

The history of Kyte Powertech

Founded in 1977, Kyte Powertech has become a leading transformer manufacturer committed to innovation and quality. We began manufacturing single-phase transformers in 1987 and achieved ISO 9002 certification in 1988, reflecting our dedication to excellence. By 1995, we celebrated the production of our 100,000th transformer.

A significant expansion in 1996-1997 increased our workforce by 75% and introduced cutting-edge technologies, enhancing our production capabilities. Between 2000 and 2004, we secured key certifications, including ISO 14001 and ISO 50001, and produced our 200,000th transformer. Continued innovation saw the introduction of Interface Transformers in 2011 and advanced manufacturing technologies like Core Cutting and Robotic Welding by 2019.

In 2024, we joined the R&S Group, strengthening our leading market position and broadening our footprint across Ireland, the UK, and Western Europe. Today, as Cavan’s largest private employer, we are proud to contribute significantly to the local economy, driven by the quality of our people and products.
