Green T&D Becomes First Pakistani Company to Launch Type-Tested Schneider Electric PIX Easy MV/LV Panels

In a significant development for Pakistan's electrical engineering and power distribution sector, Green T&D Pvt Ltd has officially launched PIX Easy panels in Pakistan — becoming the first company in the country to introduce these advanced type-tested switchgear panels in collaboration with Schneider Electric. The launch marks an important milestone in bringing modern, internationally-certified electrical solutions to the Pakistani industrial and commercial market.

What PIX Easy actually is

PIX Easy is Schneider Electric's type-tested switchgear platform designed for medium-voltage primary distribution applications. The "type-tested" designation is critical: these panels have undergone full international short-circuit and arc-fault testing at Schneider's certified test labs, with the certificates traveling with the product. That gives consultants and end users a level of compliance documentation that custom-assembled panels typically cannot match.

The platform's key strengths for Pakistani applications:

• Standardised configurations — pre-engineered cubicle types reduce design time and eliminate the field-engineering errors that plague custom-built panels.
• Compact footprint — fits into Pakistani substation rooms that were originally sized for older, larger switchgear platforms.
• Arc-fault containment — the type-tested arc-flash performance protects operators in case of internal fault, a safety standard that has been hard to achieve in Pakistan's custom-build switchgear market.
• Faster installation — pre-tested assemblies cut commissioning time meaningfully versus traditional build-on-site approaches.

The launch event

The launch was attended by prominent industry leaders, consultants, and professionals from across Pakistan's power and engineering sectors. Participants described the event as highly engaging, with detailed presentations and technical discussions highlighting the features, performance, and safety standards of PIX Easy. The interactive sessions gave attendees an opportunity to exchange ideas on how the new solution can support Pakistan's growing industrial and commercial infrastructure needs.

Representing Schneider Electric at the ceremony was Kamran Sultan, Channel Partner Lead for Schneider Electric Pakistan, accompanied by a visiting Schneider Electric Expert from Riyadh. Sultan appreciated the collaboration and emphasised the importance of innovative technologies in strengthening Pakistan's electrical network — his presence reflecting Schneider's confidence in Green T&D as the local partner to introduce a flagship product line.

Green T&D's positioning

Speaking on the occasion, Kashif Zafar, Founder of Green T&D Pvt Ltd, said the company was proud to be the first in Pakistan to launch PIX Easy products. He noted that the initiative demonstrates Green T&D's dedication to introducing world-class technologies and setting new standards in the local engineering market.

Being the first-mover on a type-tested Schneider platform is strategically important: it positions Green T&D as the default reference site for any Pakistani consultant evaluating PIX Easy for their next project, and it establishes a technical credibility that's difficult for follow-on competitors to displace.

What This Means for Pakistani Consumers and Industry

For Pakistani industrial buyers and developers, PIX Easy availability through Green T&D opens a procurement option that previously required either premium-priced imports of fully-assembled Schneider switchgear with 16-week lead times, or compromise specifications using locally-assembled panels with weaker compliance documentation. The new local-sourcing path delivers Schneider's certification posture at lead times Pakistani projects can actually meet.

For the wider Pakistani switchgear ecosystem, the launch puts competitive pressure on the custom-assemble market to upgrade either toward type-tested platforms themselves, or to differentiate on cost. Either outcome is good for end customers — Pakistan's industrial switchgear floor has been due a quality-and-compliance upgrade for over a decade, and PIX Easy is one of the more credible vehicles for that shift.
