Chint Shield offer a complete low voltage electrical solution for domestic, commercial and industrial installations, with many products designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK. Continuous investment in quality people has allowed Chint Shield to develop a strong commercial and technical team, capable of supporting the needs of its growing customer base from its location just south of Manchester.
Today’s product offering includes industrial/commercial switchgear, energy distribution solutions and wiring accessories all carrying 3rd party approval. Markets served include energy distribution, control and automation, telecommunications and green energy solutions including battery storage, smart metering, photovoltaic generation, EV charging equipment etc.
The Stockport distribution centre has a substantial stock holding enabling goods to be delivered anywhere in the UK the next working day. Commercial and technical support staff working closely with end users and over 3000 distributors is the only way to ensure customers receive the local service and support they deserve.
Chint Shield’s growth strategy is to work ever closer with customers to provide the optimum ‘solution’ to their needs, not just to supply the components, but to offer a ‘complete solution’.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At CHINT, we believe that building a better future means doing things the right way, sustainably and responsibly. In early 2024, we took an important step by setting up the CHINT Group Sustainable Development Committee and Sustainable Development Office. This move reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values.
What does that mean in practice? It means we’re working hard to make our operations greener, support our communities, and run our business with integrity. Whether it’s improving energy efficiency, reducing our carbon footprint, or finding smarter ways to manufacture, we’re always looking for ways to do better.
To guide our progress and increase transparency, we published the Carbon Neutrality White Paper, outlining our roadmap toward a sustainable, low-carbon future. A key pillar of this plan is our long-term goal: achieving zero-carbon operations across all CHINT factories by 2050. This includes deploying renewable energy solutions, adopting smart manufacturing technologies, and embedding sustainability into every part of our value chain.
Our global manufacturing teams are already putting these principles into action, introducing smart tech and cleaner processes that support low-carbon production. It’s all part of our mission to create real, lasting value, not just for our customers, but for the world around us too.
Here in the UK, we’re putting those values into practice by supporting responsible recycling. As part of the UK WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, Chint Shield is a member of the REPIC producer compliance scheme. This ensures our electrical products are reused, recycled, or recovered in ways that protect the environment, keeping our waste out of landfills and reducing environmental harm.
