THE BEGINNING CATU was created in 1919 by M. CATU and, since the beginning, it has dedicated its activity to the manufacture of material and equipment for electricity networks and installations. Since 1936, CATU ’s activity has been concentrated on equipment for personal protection against electrical hazards and accordingly, has now more than 80 years experience in this field.
