A BRIEF HISTORY OF CELEM

A family business established in southern France in 1963, Celem was born with the design and marketing of the first low voltage conduction cooled power capacitor. These mica-based units allowed high currents to be generated in a much smaller case size than with the existing oil-filled technology, and quickly garnered a reputation for their quality and reliability.

As the company's world-wide sales grew annually, the company expanded its staff and product range, developing an entirely new range of polypropylene-based capacitors and ready-built assembly systems for combining capacitors in series and parallel for use at higher voltages, currents and reactive powers.
Today, at the heart of most high-frequency induction heating generators anywhere in the world, sit one if not several quiet and unassuming Celem power capacitors.

In 2003, Celem took advantage of the favourable economic and workforce conditions offered in Israel and opened a branch in the hi-tech park of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This new facility boasts an improved R&D lab which has already produced fruit in Celem's expanding medium frequency product range, and an improved production line that has cut prices and improved quality.

Celem prides itself in offering its customers quality support and service from a cutting-edge innovating company that retains the flexibility and friendliness of its family beginning.

Celem's product range includes power capacitors for medium and high frequency induction heating, configurable assembly systems, transformers and capacitors for use in high-voltage smoothing and bypass and of course custom-design tank capacitor solutions for any and every high-power resonant technology application.
