BRUSH Forms Power Partnership With ILJIN Electric Of Korea



UK energy engineering solutions provider BRUSH Group has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with South Korea’s ILJIN Electric, a leading manufacturer of power generation, transmission, distribution equipment and power cables.

 

The deal accelerates the expansion of BRUSH’s portfolio to meet the UK’s growing demand for medium and high voltage (36kV kilovolt) low-emission electrical switchgear, along with high-capacity (above 100MVA, megavolt ampere) power transformers for large-scale electrical energy transmission and distribution.

 

The partnership opens new markets for ILJIN, which already has a strong presence in the USA and Middle East, as well as Korea. It also enables the firm to harness the full capability of its new state-of-the-art factory in Hwaseong-si Hongseong, opened in October 2024.

 

As part of the arrangement, BRUSH will set up a new switchgear production line at its existing switchgear manufacturing facility in Blackwood, South Wales and train its experienced service team on the ILJIN product range.

 

Nicolas Pitrat, CEO of BRUSH Group, said:

“This exclusive deal with ILJIN is all about growth and increasing our ability to support the UK’s energy transition. It extends the BRUSH product range so we can meet the strong demand from power network operators for products that we do not design and manufacture ourselves. ILJIN has an impressive track record in other parts of the world and we’re looking forward to bringing their outstanding products and expertise to the UK.”

Soo Hwang, CEO of ILJIN Electric, said:

“This is an exciting next step in the development of our worldwide business. It allows us to tap into BRUSH’s vast experience of the UK's energy network and enables us to combine our engineered products with their well-respected servicing capabilities, ensuring seamless product integration and lifecycle maintenance by BRUSH's UK-based team."

ILJIN products are manufactured at the company's advanced production facility in South Korea, to the highest global standards. Together, BRUSH and ILJIN will work in partnership to deliver ever-more innovative solutions for projects across the UK, including accelerating the development of an SF6-free switchgear solution.
