IEM has been solving power distribution challenges for HP, Apple, and dozens of prominent companies since they were start-ups.

We developed a groundbreaking version of the medium voltage vacuum breaker in the 1980’s, pioneered the use of breakers on 21kV systems, and was the first to design a 3000A free standing breaker for utilities.

In addition, we pioneered the use of fully integrated CAD and manufacturing systems, beginning in 1979 with the first CAD/CAM system for electrical equipment metal fabrication.

This level of tradition, technology, and innovation is – in part – a byproduct of our unique ability to combine power equipment manufacturing design flexibility with short cycle times to produce custom solutions that our customers demand.
