Trench Group has completed the acquisition of Enerlux, a longstanding Italian provider of capacitors and power factor correction systems, further strengthening its position as a global technology leader in mission-critical grid infrastructure components and solutions.
By combining Trench’s leadership in coils and instrument transformers with Enerlux’s expertise in capacitors, the Group creates a comprehensive one-stop-shop offering for customers in the rapidly growing power quality segment.
The integration also opens up substantial growth opportunities for both the Enerlux business and its team under the Trench Group umbrella.

Next Milestone on Growth Path

Trench Group GmbH today announced the successful closing of its acquisition of Enerlux Power SRL (Enerlux). Effective March 2, 2026, the well-established Italian manufacturer of power capacitors and power factor correction systems for medium- and high-voltage applications has become an integral part of the rapidly growing Trench Group.

This acquisition marks another milestone in Trench Group’s growth, strengthening its position as a global technology leader in mission-critical grid infrastructure components and solutions. For decades, Enerlux has been known for its high-quality, reliable power capacitors and industrial power factor correction systems. Demand for power quality technology is rising sharply as complexity of global grids increases due to the expansion of renewable energy and rising electricity demand.

We are proud to welcome the Enerlux team to the Trench family. This acquisition is a triple win for our customers, the Enerlux team and Trench. Enerlux finds a new industrial home and adds highly complementary capabilities to Trench’s grid reliability portfolio. By applying our system know-how and offering all necessary components from a single source, we will be best positioned to meet our customers’ needs for speed, efficiency, and streamlined engineering and processes.

Dr. Bahadir Basdere, President & CEO, Trench Group

Joined Forces for Global Growth: Substantial Upside Potential for Enerlux

By combining Enerlux’s capacitor expertise with Trench’s leading position in coils and instrument transformers, Trench Group now offers even more comprehensive and integrated solutions. Power capacitors are often deployed in combination with Trench’s Air Core Reactors in applications, including FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) and other advanced grid stabilization systems.

For decades, Enerlux has stood for reliability and highest-quality products. Our power factor correction systems and capacitors are the result of a process in which innovation becomes method. I look forward to working with the team to provide the best solutions for customers and to build future growth momentum as an integral member of the global Trench Group.

Gianluca Gavarone, Managing Director of Enerlux

Leveraging Trench’s global footprint, sales network, and engineering expertise, Enerlux will strengthen its core business and accelerate expansion into new markets and applications.

Trench Group plans to bolster the Enerlux business with targeted investments in capacity, innovation, and people. The production site in Viadana and its 50 skilled employees become part of the global Trench Group network.

Enerlux will collaborate closely with Trench Groups Grid Reliability Business Unit and Trench Italy, to leverage synergies across the entire value chain. The Board of Directors is composed of: Bahadir Basdere (President & CEO Trench Group), Ronald Schmid (Head of Business Unit Grid Reliability & Managing Director Trench Austria), Gianluca Gavarone (Managing Director of Enerlux Power SRL).
