KEC is officially known as KEC International Limited and as manufacturer of electrical transmission towers, this company is considered the second largest in the world.

KEC started out as Kamani Engineering Corporation founded by Ramjibhai Kamani back in 1945. At the time, the original KEC was the first company in the whole of Asia to produce transmission towers for the electrical power sector. KEC was also involved with the electrification of railway systems. Since its humble beginnings, the Kamani Engineering Corporation eventually grew to become one of the world’s largest in providing for the electrical transmission tower needs of the world. Its projects and products reached many countries including The Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and other parts of Asia. KEC was also able to provide their products and services to the US, Australia, New Zealand, and various parts of Africa among many other nations.

At present, KEC is now part of the RPG Group that is based in Mumbai. The RPG Group successfully acquired most shares of KEC back in the 1970s when the oil and energy crisis led to debt problems among the Kamani group. With its new owners, KEC even grew bigger and reached even more countries securing its place in the electrical transmission tower industry. Aside from its core business of manufacturing electrical or telecommunications towers, KEC International is also into the business of cabling, power distribution, railway systems and water management and infrastructure. Being one of the world’s largest companies in the electrical tower and infrastructure business, KEC also boasts of being truly world class in terms of its business and operations with various ISO certifications.
