THE COMPANY
The company
Continuous operation is the key word for AROS. It is the
company’s 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 company 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 in Italy to
manufacture 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.
The company 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.
