First and largest
european specialist in Electrical safety equipment. |

CATU was created in 1919 and, since the beginning, it has
dedicated its activity to the manufacture of material and
equipment for electricity networks and installations.
Since 1936, CATU’s activity has been concentrated on
equipment for personal protection against electrical hazards and
accordingly, has now 70 years experience in this field.
After the end of World War II, many French companies involved in
Production, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Energy
were amalgamated into one National Company, called "Electricité
de France" (EDF). A short time later, a central
department for Safety and Prevention of Accidents was created
within EDF. Because of the experience that CATU
already had in this field, a very close cooperation was forged
between EDF and CATU which resulted in joint
development and improvement of all the important Safety Material
and Equipment now used in France.
The international recognition gained by EDF in this field
has contributed to giving CATU a foremost position at the
World Wide level.
At the present time, CATU Safety Equipment, including all
the range of short-circuiting and earthing systems, the
DETEXTM voltage detectors and testers, the live working
tools and the individual equipment for linesmen, is used by the
Main Power Utilities, Electrical Contractors, Large Industries
and Railways in about 100 countries spread over the 5
continents.
CATU’s experience and level of investment and research is
unmatched. As a member of the main national and international
technical committees (such as UTE, CENELEC, IEC and ASTM),
CATU is contributing to the development and application
of the latest technologies. This quest for continuous
improvement is now reinforced with the ISO 9001 Quality
Insurance Certification. Our endeavours to be the Specialist in
Electrical Safety Equipment are made with genuine dedication to
all aspects of Safety Engineering Principles. Together with our
network of distributors, we acknowledge our commitment and
obligations to our customers.
