Hyosung Heavy Industries said Friday it won a contract to supply high-voltage switchgears in Sweden, clenching a second deal in Europe to expand its presence there.

According to the company, it recently landed a contract with Svenska Kraftnet, Sweden’s national power grid, to supply 420-kilovolt switchgears.

The company said it will supply the high-voltage switchgears to electric stations in Stockholm by 2021.

“Hyosung Heavy Industries plan to expand its power apparatus business in the new global market with its top-level power manufacturing technology,” Chairman Cho Hyun-joon said.

Hyosung is the first Korean company to enter the European market, having been chosen as the main supplier of power transformers for Britain’s national grid in 2010.
