About SSS Elektrotechnische Systeme
SSS Elektrotechnische Systeme GmbH & Co. KG in Essen is part of the SSS Group and has been active in the field of electrical and energy engineering since 1946. With around 600 employees, the company has been designing and building switchgear and plant control systems for the international market for more than 50 years. The portfolio of services includes energy engineering, electromobility with charging infrastructure, communication, security and lighting technology, utility engineering including pipeline construction as well as building technology and technical facility management. In sheet metal and metal processing, the company produces custom metalwork from one-off pieces to series production, among other things for retrofit and prototypes, with a modern machine park for sheet metal up to 25 mm thickness in steel, stainless steel and aluminium. As a certified DVGW specialist company (G2, W2, R2), water, gas and industrial pipelines are also laid, renovated and rehabilitated, including PE relining with annular gap in group R2. Engineering and planning with grid analysis, an in-house test laboratory as well as service and maintenance complete the value chain.
