About Cantega
Cantega Technologies was founded in 2001 by a power lineman who knew first hand that there was a better way to design and build power system protection products and to improve reliability. Marty Niles, the founder with over 25 years experience in the field, witnessed the damage and disruption caused by bird and animal contacts with electrical equipment. He recognized the value of custom-fitting covers as opposed to the common “one size fits all” approach for protective products. He also realized that having covers that could be installed quickly on energized equipment added tremendous value to utilities. In Canada, Cantega–s products are used extensively by AltaLink, BC Hydro, Fortis, Hydro One, Hydro Quebec, SaskPower, Manitoba Hydro and several other regional utilities. Industrial customers such as Shell and Anadarko have also adopted the use of Cantega products where the cost of an outage is measured in lost revenue and can amount to millions for a brief outage.
