Our story
Thirty years of keeping the power on—from a Greenville shop to grids worldwide.
We started with industrial controls for local manufacturers and grew into a global B2B partner. The through-line is unchanged: real infrastructure, accountable service, and software that ties the stack together.
From regional roots to global reach
What started with manufacturers and hospitals in our home region now spans national software hubs, field teams across the country, and select offices in London and Dublin—still run with the same practical, field-first engineering mindset we started with.
