Meissner makes its mark in local power protection market

12 February 2003 News

Streamlining both its business and manufacturing processes, cutting production costs and re-engineering certain components, has allowed Meissner Power Systems to substantially grow its business during 2002. Midway through 2002, Meissner reported that revenue had leapt to 149,6% ahead of its sales figures for the similar period in 2001.

"We more than doubled the amount of units sold in 2002, when compared to the previous year," says Graham Beyleveld, sales director at Meissner Power Systems.

Beyleveld is of the opinion that Meissner's focus on local products boosted its performance. "A variety of factors conspired to deliver a bumper year for Meissner in 2002. Key among these was a renewed focus on the locally-manufactured product set and meeting the specific environmental and technical demands of our South African customers."

Meissner saw a rise in the demand for high-end power systems, enabling its factory to up its production of 60 kVA plus machines.

Beyleveld believes that, as the typical applications for UPSs continue to expand there will be a heightened demand for these systems.
