Our in-house R&D in 5 countries enables us to respond quickly to our customers' demands, make modifications to products and bring them fast to market. Our highly skilled experts have extensive experience especially in the product development of LV and MV networks.
We test our products beyond industry standards, giving customers safer products faster to market – something many others can't offer.
Extensive testing secures that the products are durable, high-quality and long-lasting. In addition to reliability and high quality, own testing ensures a faster product development cycle to get our products to market more quickly.
In Porvoo, Finland, we have our own ILAC-accredited in-house laboratory (EN ISO/IEC 17025), where we test our underground cable accessories. The tests include aging, short-circuit, tensile, high-voltage, PD measurements, climate, corrosion, and impact.
Other line accessory products also go through various tests during their manufacturing process to ensure that their are of high quality before delivered to customers.
Our distribution automation products are manufactured and tested in Villefranche-sur-Saône and Bagnères de Bigorre, France. The testing of the products includes a range of advanced methodologies to ensure product performance and reliability throughout the lifecycle.
Key tests include hardware-in-the-loop simulations to replicate real-world conditions, such as advanced grid fault scenarios; custom test benches for functional, communication, security, and system-level evaluations; and automated regression tests to maintain stability and prevent performance degradation.
These tests, supported by fully automated test benches integrated into the product development process, enable continuous validation from development to production, ensuring durability and compliance with identified risks and quality standards.
Our substations are made and tested at Ensto Maviko's factory in Vaasa, Finland, before they are delivered to the customer. In primary substation projects, commissioning testing is done on-site.
In addition, we have comprehensive testing services for both primary substations and smart compact secondary substations. We also have experience in testing protection relays, and our expertise covers all the most common protection relays.

Ensto Operational Excellence (EOX) program was launched back in 2010 to strive Ensto Operations towards world-class manufacturing with the set of selected Lean Management initiatives. The journey has not ended: we have defined world-class manufacturing at Ensto as continuous improvement in quality, efficiency, delivery capability and flexibility.
