GAMMA Insulators and Cerisol S.A. Partnership Completes the Porcelain
TR Station Post Product Line for the North American Utility Market!
July 7, 2015
To all our North American customers:
As the leaders of GAMMA Insulators Corporation – manufacturers of low, medium and high voltage utility
products – a subsidiary of the CORONA Group based in Colombia – and CERISOL S.A., manufacturers of
medium and high voltage porcelain insulators based in Europe – we are pleased to announce that our
companies have joined forces to offer the North American utility market a full line of porcelain TR station
posts (ANSI TR-202 to ANSI TR-391).
We see this alliance as representing a strong commitment to provide North American utility and OEM
customers with a premier line of low, medium and high voltage station post insulators, supported by state
of the art manufacturing facilities, and a strong value proposition of stock, service and support NOW.
The GAMMA-CERISOL product line will be manufactured, as before, at Gamma’s facility based in Medellín,
Colombia, and Cerisol’s facility located in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. Both companies will collaborate to
fulfill the complete product line.
However, this new long term research and manufacturing alliance between both companies means
something more. It demonstrates that we are united in our desire to develop and offer new and additional
station post custom designs, based on specific requirements in accordance to ANSI C.29.9-1983.
GAMMA Insulators will manage the North American sales and marketing effort for new GAMMA-CERISOL
product line, plus all customer service and technical operations, as well as Gamma’s U.S.-based
warehouse and distribution center located in Savannah, GA.
With this announcement, we have also included initial qualification materials as follows:
•
