Barwit Control Systems was established in 1973 to address the then fledgling market for power control systems utilising variable speed drives.

Its core business quickly became the design and manufacture of bespoke panels incorporating PLCs, Scada and Fieldbus systems. Barwit has maintained its position at the leading edge of this technology by designing and producing remote monitoring and control power systems. Nevertheless, Barwit continues to build panels to customer designs and specifications.
