Continuous operation is the key
word for AROS. It is its field of
activity, a sophisticated technology
upon which the efficiency of every
electrical system depends. AROS
has over 70 years of experience in
this highly specialized sector and is
currently a leading brand name in the
field.
But continuity is also AROS
“trademark” as acknowledged by
design and installation engineers:
the will to strive constantly to
achieve the highest production
standards and to anticipate market
demands. Thinking in this way
brought AROS to set up the
Research and Development team of
about forty persons to better
respond to the market
requirements. The result is that
today whoever thinks about
emergency power supplies thinks
AROS.
AROS was set up in 1935 and
after just a few years established
itself as the leading Italian
manufacturer of voltage
regulators, transformers and
power supplies. In the fifties
AROS was the first company
manufacturer in Italy of ballasts
for fluorescent neon lamps and
became the Italian leader in the
field of components for lighting.
In the eighties it designed,
developed and produced
switching power supplies for
IBM computers. AROS thus
acquired know-how in PWM
(Pulse-Width- Modulation)
technology that enabled it to
enter the UPS sector. This is
now the most important field of
activity for AROS, which has
maintained its leadership in
voltage regulators and
components.
AROS, a history of research
and continuity.
