Emen Ista Electric Company (EISECO) is a pioneering manufacturer in Iran, specializing in electrical panels, junction boxes, water tanks, and GRP composite inspection and manhole covers using the SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) method. As a part of the Nikan Holding, EISECO has been instrumental in advancing composite technology in the country's electrical and water infrastructure sectors.
The foundation of this expertise traces back to 1998, when Noor Ista Plastic Company (NIPCO), the parent company of the Nikan Holding, introduced the SMC method for automotive parts in Iran. With a $7 million initial investment, NIPCO established the first production line for SMC raw materials in the Middle East. This innovation laid the groundwork for the use of composite materials in power distribution, particularly for creating durable, corrosion-resistant electrical panels, ideal for high-humidity environments.
In collaboration with European leaders, EISECO has focused on producing composite-bodied electrical panels, especially for low-voltage and control applications. The company has localized the production of outdoor panels used across various sectors, including energy distribution, oil and gas, and control systems.
With permanent certification from Tavanir (the national power company of Iran) and membership in the Electrical Panel Builders Association, EISECO actively participates in tenders and has representatives across the country. The company's composite-bodied panels have gained significant traction with distribution companies, particularly in southern oil regions.
Expanding its portfolio, in 2007 EISECO began focusing on the water and
wastewater sectors, producing modular polymer composite water tanks and
anti-theft composite manhole covers by 2009. These solutions address the
challenges posed by traditional materials such as concrete, galvanized steel,
and cast iron, offering higher hygiene standards, better transportability, and
enhanced safety.
