“Powell was founded in 1947 as a metal-working shop to support the local Houston, Texas petrochemical facilities. While they began small, the company has grown over the past six decades to become the strategic supplier of choice for highly complex and integrated systems for distribution and control of electrical energy and other critical processes.
Today, the firm is headquartered in Houston, Texas and has locations in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Their customers include engineering-construction firms and end-users in the oil and gas, electric utility, transportation and other heavy industries. Their products and services include metal-clad switchgear, metal-enclosed switchgear, motor control, bus duct, utility switches, integrated electrical equipment enclosures, offshore modules, control and monitoring systems, energy management systems, and process control systems-- plus a very large variety of support services including installation and commissioning, spare parts, switchgear life extension, replacement circuit breakers, project management, and field support.”
