Illuminating the Future: About Fulmen

Fulmen, with half a century of experience in Iran's electrical industry, has a story of growth and resilience deeply rooted in Iran, this ancient land. The journey began with a small seed named Raisco (Research & Industrial Services Company), which was established six decades ago by Fereidoun Mahmoudian and a group of academic colleagues, driven by a blend of knowledge, creativity, and high ideals.

Throughout its journey, Fulmen has weathered challenges and embraced progress, growing steadily and persistently. With a commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility, the company has thrived, focusing on the design, supply, and execution of electrical projects.
