Thytronic is an Italian company that has evolved over time: originally a manufacturer of protection systems, it now offers complete solutions for the automation, control and monitoring of electrical grids.

The company has more than 60 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of protection relays and digital systems for safe, reliable and intelligent power grids.

In a rapidly transforming sector, driven by the energy transition and the growing need for smarter and more resilient grids, Thytronic integrates advanced research and development skills and a robust engineering department to design, manufacture and implement complex solutions for medium and high voltage.

Today, the company supports industrial operators, utilities, distribution and transmission system operators and, since 2018, has been Terna-approved suppliers on the path to more digital, flexible, and secure electricity grids.

Thytronic operates in a market undergoing profound change. The importance of electricity and its access is increasingly central.

New electricity grids will need to be increasingly flexible, reliable, and secure, and climate change and the carbon neutrality targets that governments and the European Union have set for themselves by 2050 require a rethinking of energy management and new strategies to ensure a sustainable energy mix.

While renewable energy sources must be expanded, these alone will not be enough to meet the ever-increasing demand for electricity.

Thytronic’s mission remains the same: to use all the energy to build a more secure future.

Highly qualified and motivated staff, as well as recent acquisitions, enables the company to offer cutting-edge products and services that meet the ever-increasing demand for protection, safety and reliability.

Thytronic has expanded its expertise and product portfolio, moving from a product supplier to a solutions provider, and provides automation engineering services for a wide range of companies operating in energy transmission and distribution.

Thytronic is able to provide complete solutions and services for the monitoring, control, protection and automation of electrical grids, while its engineering team can design new systems, retrofit them, and/or adapt them to the customer's specific needs, addressing any integration issues that may arise.
