1. COMPANY PROFILE
OUR MISSION:
“Develop and supply high-quality capacitors, providing all the customers with full assistance from the design through
the delivery.
We will take care to any particular needs that the customer may have.”
Established in 1946, ICAR has rapidly reached, and since then maintained, a leadership position in the research and
development of new capacitors and components of which capacitors are key parts.
In the early 60’s, first in the world, ICAR started the production of metallized polypropylene film capacitors, by
developing the film metallization by its own.
ICAR group nowadays controls all the manufacturing phases of the capacitor: from the polypropylene film extrusion
through its metallization, to the production of the finished capacitor. The know-how accrued in almost 50 years of
metallized film production, has enabled ICAR to bring to the market innovative products.
Today ICAR Group is a leader in the production of capacitors, both for power electronics applications and for low
and medium voltage power factor correction.
ICAR Group today offers a wide range of products, all manufactured at its 6 plants located in Europe, that includes:
• power electronics and special capacitors
• lighting capacitors
• motor run capacitors
• Power Factor Correction capacitors and Systems
• L.V. and M.V. voltage stabilizers
• transformers and chokes
