Milestones
| 1972 | • Research related to composite insulators was started at the Electrical Industry Research Institute (VKI). |
| 1976 | • With the assistance of the National Power Line Company (OVIT) the first generation of 400kV composite insulators were installed in the Hungarian section of the Göd-Léva international power line. |
| 1982 | • Requested by Hungarian Power Companies Ltd. (MVM Rt.) the engineers of VKI developed the technology for industrial production of composite insulators. |
| 1986 | • Requested by the Swiss ABB the research engineers of VKI, based on their own patent and know-how, took part in the establishment of a production plant for manufacturing 66-550kV high voltage apparatus equipped with composite insulators in Switzerland. |
