The POSEICO Group is divided into three distinct branches:The POSEICO Group is divided into three distinct branches:

a company specialized in the design and manufacture of power electronics devices and systems

a company specialized in the study, design, construction

and maintenance of electrical, mechanical and

telecommunication systems

a division that operates in the field of engineering services

POSEICO is a leader firm in the high power semiconductors markets that provides services dedicated to research, design, manufacturing, trade and maintanance of high power semiconductors (diodes, thyrisors, GTO,PPIGBTs), accessories (heatsink, gate lead, etc.) and power electronic converter including power assemblies and traction rectifiers.

Today POSEICO means more than 1000 man-years of Today POSEICO means more than 1000 man-years of experience in power electronicsexperience in power electronics
