One Group, Two Specialists, One Unified Defence Offering

The CE+T Group is a belgian conglomerate of power electronics companies united by a shared mission: delivering advanced, reliable power solutions across critical industries — from telecoms and data centres to energy management and defence. The Group's family of companies includes Alpha Innovations, CE+T Power, CE+T America, and Jema, each bringing complementary expertise across shared and adjacent markets.

Alpha Innovations joined the CE+T Group in 2019, bringing deep expertise in customised power solutions, proprietary monitoring software, and third-party converter integration. Based in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, Alpha Innovations operates at the intersection of power electronics, IoT, and energy management — developing solutions that combine hardware flexibility with intelligent software platforms such as COMPAS and Inview MESH.

RIPEnergy, a Swiss-based company founded in 2004, specialises in the design of high-quality on-board energy conversion products, with a power range spanning 100 W to 10 kW. The company has earned a robust reputation for delivering durable, reliable, customised solutions for industry, railways, and the defence sector. Its acquisition by Alpha Innovations — and by extension its integration into the CE+T Group — was a deliberate strategic move to combine Swiss engineering precision with Belgian systems integration know-how.

The acquisition unlocks synergies and complementary capabilities that accelerate the development of on-board energy solutions, opening new possibilities for growth and market leadership in demanding application segments.

A Coherent Defence Portfolio, Field-Proven

RIPEnergy is recognised as a leading manufacturer of field-proven power conversion products for military and defence applications. Engineered in Switzerland and supported by a dedicated development centre in Belgium, its solutions are built to withstand the toughest operational conditions — for mobile vehicles, special forces, dismounted soldiers, and naval and marine platforms. Defense Advancement

At Eurosatory 2026, the combined stand showcases four product families directly addressing defence programme requirements:

  • DC/DC Converters

    Designed for C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) vehicles, ensuring stable power delivery for mission-critical electronics in high-vibration, high-EMI environments.

  • Sine Wave Inverters 

    Pure AC output for any military system requiring mains-equivalent power on the move. The RSW series features IP64-rated rugged construction and models programmable via RS-485 or CAN bus for seamless vehicle integration. 

  • Battery Chargers & Equalizers

    Maintaining vehicle readiness between missions, extending battery lifecycle, and supporting electrification of defence fleets.

  • Power Supplies for Fleet Retrofitting 

    Enabling procurement officers and programme managers to modernise legacy defence fleets without full platform replacement, reducing lifecycle costs and accelerating capability upgrades.

Why Eurosatory

The defence electronics market is undergoing rapid transformation. Electrification of ground vehicles, growing C4ISR payload densities, and the operational shift toward platform-agnostic power architectures are creating demand for adaptable, ruggedised power conversion solutions — precisely the space where the CE+T Group, through Alpha Innovations and RIPEnergy, has invested its engineering resources.

Exhibiting under the AWEX Pavilion reflects the Group's Belgian industrial identity and its international export ambition, positioning it as a European sovereign capability in defence power electronics — a category of growing strategic importance in the current geopolitical environment.

We try to really understand what's happening on the field to bring new innovative answers in terms of electrical supply.
