Founded
Ludhiana, Punjab — originally as a drive-repair workshop.
We make the part that cannot fail
VOLTEDGE started in 2004 with eleven people rebuilding failed drive boards for textile mills. Twenty-one years later we run three plants, employ 1,240 people, and ship into 47 countries — but the founding brief has not moved: build the part that keeps the machine running.

Company history
Twenty-one years, four inflection points
Manufacturing companies rarely grow smoothly; they grow when something forces them to. Ours were a customer audit we failed, a currency crisis, a certification we could not buy our way into, and a fire. Each one changed how we build.
Arrange a plant visit2004 — 2008
Repair shop to original equipment
Eleven people rebuilding failed drive boards. By 2008 we were designing replacements outright, because the originals kept failing the same way in Indian ambient conditions.
2011
The audit we failed
A German OEM audited us and stopped at traceability. We rebuilt the entire shop-floor system around unit-level records, and passed the re-audit eight months later. That system is still the backbone of our MES.
2016
IATF 16949 and the second plant
Automotive certification opened tier-two supply. Ludhiana II came online with two additional SMT lines, AOI and in-line X-ray.
2021
Power electronics platform
The TitanCore SiC programme moved us from board assembly into our own silicon-carbide converter designs, and with it into grid, storage and traction markets.
2024 — today
Pune plant and regional hubs
Sensor and instrumentation manufacturing consolidated in Pune; four regional stocking hubs opened to cut delivered lead time for export customers from 11 weeks to 3.
Manufacturing
Three plants, deliberately specialised
We do not run mixed-model chaos. Each plant owns a technology, which is why yields hold when volume moves.
Power electronics
28,000 m². Four SMT lines with 0201-capable placement, selective soldering, vacuum potting, 6 kV dielectric test and a 400 kW regenerative load bank for full-power burn-in.
| SMT capacity | 180k CPH |
| Test coverage | 100 % functional |
| Certification | ISO 9001 · IATF 16949 |
Control & interconnect
21,000 m². Controller assembly, conformal coating, automated wire processing, crimp-force monitoring on every terminal and a 15-million-cycle flex test rig for drag-chain cable.
| Harness capacity | 34k assemblies / mo |
| Inspection | AOI + in-line X-ray |
| Certification | ISO 9001 · ISO 14001 |
Sensors & instrumentation
12,000 m². Class 8 cleanroom cells, laser welding, NABL-accredited calibration laboratory and an anechoic chamber for radio module pre-compliance.
| Calibration | NABL accredited |
| EMC | 3 m semi-anechoic |
| Certification | ISO 9001 · ISO 17025 scope |
Quality & compliance
Documentation is part of the product
A converter that works but cannot be certified is worthless to an OEM. Our compliance team sits inside engineering, not beside it, so certification constraints shape the design rather than ambush it at the end.

Record retention
Every reel is verified against an approved-vendor list with X-ray count, moisture-sensitivity level logging and lot capture into the MES. Counterfeit screening uses decapsulation sampling on brokered parts, which we buy only under written customer authorisation.
Solder paste inspection after print, AOI after reflow, X-ray on every BGA and bottom-terminated component, plus first-article approval at each changeover. Process capability is tracked live; a Cpk excursion below 1.33 stops the line.
HALT to destruction on new platforms, then thermal cycling per IEC 60068-2-14, vibration per 2-6, damp heat per 2-78, salt mist where specified, and EMC pre-compliance in our own chamber before the accredited lab visit.
Each serialised unit resolves to its component lots, operator IDs, reflow profile, test results and packing date. Records are retained ten years and can be exported to your quality system on request.
No form, fit, function or process change reaches a customer part without a written PCN and, where the agreement requires it, your approval. Silent substitutions are a disciplinary matter here.
62 % renewable
Rooftop solar and a PPA cover 62 % of plant electricity; target is 90 % by 2029.
Zero landfill
All process waste segregated and routed to certified recyclers since 2022.
CBAM ready
Embedded-emissions data issued per shipment for EU importers.
41 % women
Share of plant workforce, including 28 % of line-leader positions.
Careers
Engineers who want to see their board on a machine
We hire power electronics designers, embedded firmware engineers, test engineers and process engineers across all three plants — and we will take a good graduate over a mediocre veteran.
