Company Profile

History

Sollatek UK was founded in 1983 to exploit the patented design for an Automatic Voltage Switcher or AVS. Sollatek (UK) Ltd has since become one of the leading makers of specialist products to protect electrical and electronic equipment.

Internationally Sollatek now has offices in 14 countries and an active distribution network in 24 more. Sollatek has grown rapidly to become a truly global power management and solar products company. The AVS was the first in what has become a complete family of products designed to deal effectively with electrical disturbances, such as low and high voltage, spikes, surges and backsurges that are increasingly common in the mains electricity supply that can damage or even destroy your valuable electrical equipment.

All research & development of Sollatek products is done at its 15,000 square feet facility in Slough, England, while manufacturing is done in China & Egypt where they are shipped to over 190 countries worldwide.
