Since 1979, TAKO has built an unmatched legacy in electrostatic discharge (ESD) across Malaysia. What started as a pioneering ESD manufacturer quickly evolved into the country’s most comprehensive lightning protection company — trusted by thousands of industrial, commercial, and residential clients.

Today, Tako is one of the world’s most experienced ESD product manufacturers with offices in multiple countries and a broad customer base spanning ASEAN, Europe, and the USA.

What We Do Best

Our Core Competencies

From on-site investigation to certified system installation — our qualified engineers deliver end-to-end lightning protection with zero compromises.

Design & Implementation of Lightning Protection

Our certified engineers design bespoke lightning protection systems fully compliant with MS IEC 62305. All staff are qualified in accordance with Ministry of Manpower guidelines — from ESE lightning arrester placement to conductor routing and bonding.

  • Site inspection & risk assessment
  • ESE & conventional LPS design
  • Earthing system installation
  • Certification documentation

Surge Protection Investigative Analysis

Lightning surges damage electrical and electronic devices silently. Our engineers perform detailed surge investigative analysis to identify root causes and recommend IEC 61643–compliant Telebahn SPD solutions — reducing downtime, data loss, and equipment damage.

  • Transient overvoltage analysis
  • SPD selection & installation
  • CCTV & solar panel protection
  • Data line & telecom protection

Annual Lightning Maintenance Programs

A lightning protection system is only effective if regularly tested and maintained. Our annual maintenance program covers comprehensive inspection, continuity testing, resistance measurement, data reporting, and system upgrade recommendations — keeping you always compliant.

  • Earth resistance testing
  • Visual inspection & continuity check
  • Written maintenance reports
  • Upgrade recommendations

Standards & Compliance

Certified to the Highest Standard in Malaysia

MS IEC 62305 is the definitive Malaysian standard for lightning protection — and Tako Lightning Solution was among the first companies in Malaysia to build a proprietary software tool that fully incorporates this standard into every risk assessment we perform.

Our software accounts for local ground flash density, soil resistivity, building characteristics, and the value of the assets being protected — ensuring you neither overspend on unnecessary equipment nor leave any vulnerability unaddressed.

Every project we complete comes with a formal risk assessment report and certification letter — documentation that satisfies insurance requirements, regulatory inspections, and client due diligence.
