Centiel SA, a Switzerland-based provider of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment, has secured its first order in the United States under a strategic distribution agreement with Neo Critical Power LLC, the company announced July 13, 2026. The order, valued at USD 8.7 million, covers the delivery of a UPS system for a data center project in the United States.
This is the first project under the framework agreement announced in June 2026 and confirms that the partnership with Neo Critical Power is already delivering substantial results shortly after its formation. Delivery of the system is planned within the current financial year and will contribute to the U.S.-related revenue expectations communicated for 2026.
Gerardo Lecuona, CEO of Centiel, commented: "This first order demonstrates that our partnership with Neo Critical Power is already bearing fruit and that we are well on track with our international growth strategy and our path into the U.S. market."
The significance of this order extends beyond Centiel's corporate growth. For the U.S. data center industry, which is experiencing rapid expansion due to increasing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital services, reliable power protection is critical. UPS systems ensure operational continuity and energy efficiency, preventing costly downtime and protecting sensitive equipment. Centiel's entry into the U.S. market with a major order signals increased competition and potentially more advanced, modular UPS technologies becoming available to American data center operators.
Centiel builds on engineering expertise in transformer-less and modular UPS technologies, which are known for higher efficiency and smaller footprint compared to traditional systems. This could translate into lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact for data centers, aligning with industry trends toward sustainability. The partnership with Neo Critical Power, a U.S.-based distributor, provides Centiel with a channel to directly serve the American market, which is one of the largest for critical power solutions.
For investors, this order validates Centiel's international growth strategy and its ability to penetrate the U.S. market, which was a key objective. The company is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker CNTL and has communicated revenue expectations for 2026 that include contributions from U.S. operations. This first order provides concrete evidence of progress toward those goals.
Centiel operates through a network of subsidiaries and channel partners to serve customers in various international markets. The company's global headquarters is located at Via alla Stampa 15, 6965 Cadro, Lugano, Switzerland. More information about Centiel and its products can be found at www.centiel.com.
