Celebrating 40 Years of Innovative Power

40 Years of Military Power Supplies

Celab has been providing high reliability power solution designs for 40 years and to celebrate our anniversary we visited the Farnborough Air Sciences Trust this month.

Selected members of staff visited the museum and had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a Harrier, amongst other aircraft and exhibits. The Harrier marked an important milestone in Celab’s history back in 1971 when we were selected to design and manufacture one of the first switch mode power supplies for the aircraft’s radar system.

Celab was an early pioneer in switch mode power for defence applications, giving us the opportunity to work on many defence projects in the early 70s such as Nimrod and Harrier. This pioneering spirit continues to the present day with projects such as Typhoon and A400M, where Celab continues to push the boundaries of power supply technology.
