Today, we are an international company, representing the most respected manufacturers globally. We utilize state-of-the-art technology and employ a staff of over 200 people at 11 U.S. locations, 6 European countries and 10 countries around the world.

Still a family-owned company, Powell Electronics continues to be guided by our founding principles of honesty, integrity, ethical dealings, plus a sense of urgency for meeting our customers' needs.
