Kyte Powertech stands as a beacon of industrial excellence and sustainable innovation within the picturesque setting of County Cavan.

This transformer manufacturing powerhouse contributes significantly to the local economy, with more than 500 employees and an injection of approximately €30 million annually.

In addition, the company exhibits how modern businesses can harmonise with their communities and the environment.

Kyte Powertech's journey began in 1977 before transforming into a wholly Irish-owned entity following a management buyout in 2020, underscoring a narrative of growth, resilience, and adaptation.

However, the true essence of Kyte Powertech lies, not just in its rich history or its contributions to the local job market, but in its forward-thinking approach to manufacturing, sustainability, and community engagement.

The company's success is rooted in its commitment to innovation and quality. With a sprawling 17,500 sq m manufacturing hub in Cavan, Kyte Powertech has mastered the art of distribution transformer production, ensuring that every unit, from the first to the 500,000th, exemplifies the highest standards of efficiency and reliability.

The facility's state-of-the-art core cutting, laser cutting and robotic welding machines, along with a comprehensive suite of certifications including ISO 17025 and ISO 50001, highlight a relentless pursuit of technological advancement and environmental stewardship.

But what truly sets Kyte Powertech apart is its holistic approach to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The company’s efforts extend beyond compliance with environmental regulations, embracing a broader mission to positively impact both the planet and the people it serves.

From achieving ISO 14001 certification, which recognises its effective environmental management system, to engaging in sustainable procurement, Kyte Powertech is at the forefront of integrating eco-friendly practices in every aspect of its operations.

Commitment to sustainability

Kyte Powertech’s digital transformation initiatives further demonstrate its commitment to sustainability. By leveraging digital technologies, the company enhances its operational efficiency and customer service and significantly reduces its ecological footprint.

This approach, coupled with rigorous safety measures and a focus on occupational health, underscores a comprehensive strategy to ensure a positive impact on both its workforce and the environment.

Community collaboration and CSR initiatives are integral to Kyte Powertech's identity. The company actively participates in local sports sponsorships, charitable contributions, and educational programmes, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment to enriching the community. Notably, its recently launched Scholarship Programme and primary schools’ sustainability programme aim to educate and inspire the next generation on the importance of environmental responsibility.

Kyte Powertech's industry-leading position is not solely attributed to its impressive array of products or its commitment to sustainability.

By focusing on nurturing a diverse and inclusive workplace and actively participating in local economic development, Kyte Powertech is a leading example of how companies can contribute to society's broader goals.
