History

The idea of creating BONGSUIRU ELECTRICALS COMPANY LTD was nursed back in 2014 by the founder; Wirsiy Elvis Bongsuiru an Electrical Power System (EPS) teacher. After teaching for three years, he discovered the gap that existed between the theory taught in school and the practical that is obtained in the field. The desire to bridge this gap was at the origin of BONGELEC and it started as a grouping of young people who were passionate about electrical works with the sole purpose of sourcing out contracts and executing them in a more professional manner limited to mostly domestic installations. This was done for a number of homes and the customers who were satisfied with the work done became marketers of the team. By 2018, the team had grown to five steady members with two apprentices who were contracted by the parents to be trained as electricians. The demand for satellite dish technicians was growing in the town of Bamenda and to maximize our chances of working more, the team decided to undertake training on satellite dish installation which was a great success and exposed the team to more work. As the demand for the services of the team increased, the team started identifying themselves as BONGSUIRU ELECTRICALS with the founder playing the role of the manager.

With the desire of expanding the sphere of influence of the company, the manager undertook another training in the early part of 2019 on solar system design, installation and maintenance and brought back the knowledge to the team. BONGELEC got into solar system installation in the later part of the year 2019 beginning with small system installations around the neighbourhood and have grown to designing, installing and carrying out maintenance works in big systems in institutions. During these ten years of the company’s growth from conception till this moment, the company has electrified more than 200 structures in four region of Cameroon ranging from Bungalows, duplexes, mini cités and churches. In the solar field, they have designed and installed more than 100 systems, ranging from hundreds of watt-hours to 45kWh with PV generator capacities varying between 200Wp to 20kWp.

The growth of BONGSUIRU ELECTRICALS and their involvement with institutions saw the need for structuring the company and legalizing it. The company was registered in early 2024 as BONGSUIRU ELECTRICALS COMPANY LTD with a manager, senior technicians, technicians, apprentices and students on internship.

The company has grown to executing projects for a German based NGO (BEGECA) thanks to the dedicated team members and the continues quest for knowledge and better work output by the manager.
