ARLINGTON, Va. – The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) today announced that four manufacturing companies have joined the association, bolstering NEMA’s position as the premier electrical manufacturing association as the industry enters a pivotal year for grid modernization, electrification, efficiency and safety. With more than 300 member companies providing more than 500,000 jobs across every state, representing fully half of the total U.S. manufacturing investment in the last three years and the nation’s #2 exporting sector, NEMA’s membership represents the full breadth of technologies needed to meet America’s surging power demand.

The addition of DITEK Surge Protection, ESS Metron, LS Cable & System USA, and Trane Technologies brings specialized expertise across power distribution infrastructure, surge protection systems, energy cable manufacturing, and temperature control technologies. 

• DITEK Surge Protection: A designer and manufacturer of surge protection solutions for video surveillance, fire systems, networking, communications, intrusion detection, access control, and AC power systems, delivering advanced protection technologies through global distribution partnerships.
  
  
• ESS Metron: A designer and manufacturer of low- and medium-voltage switchgear, integrated power distribution centers, custom control products, and portable substations. The company serves critical infrastructure applications across 12 market segments, including data centers, power generation, electric utilities, mass transit, and industrial manufacturing.

• LS Cable & System USA: A manufacturer and supplier of energy wire and cable products and distribution systems for the commercial, industrial, renewable energy, and electric utility markets, including low-voltage instrumentation cables, low-voltage control and power cables, medium-voltage power cables, and primary power and distribution circuits. 

• Trane Technologies: A global climate innovator advancing sustainability through leading brands Trane® and Thermo King®, delivering efficient and sustainable climate solutions for buildings, homes, and transportation. The company’s portfolio spans heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, and refrigeration technologies. 

“NEMA is committed to scaling domestic manufacturing and deploying the technologies that will power America’s next era of growth,” said NEMA President and CEO Debra Phillips. “These four companies reflect the breadth of NEMA’s membership and bring essential capabilities across the electroindustry – from the switchgear and cable systems that form the backbone of the grid, to the surge protection and climate control technologies that keep our buildings and facilities operating reliably. I look forward to working together to advance the standards, policies, and innovations that will define our industry’s future.” 

“A partnership with NEMA officially unites our shared mission to enhance power quality and reliability for all,” said DITEK Surge Protection Director of Business Development Mike Molinari. “As power surges become increasingly frequent due to a variety of factors, DITEK’s efforts are focused on providing robust protection solutions to safeguard homes and businesses. Together with NEMA, we are committed to advancing technologies that ensure safe and efficient electrical systems, while contributing to efforts that lead to a more resilient electrical infrastructure for everyone.”

“Joining NEMA is a significant milestone for ESS Metron as we continue to lead the way in providing highly engineered electrical equipment solutions. We are excited to collaborate with the industry’s brightest minds to help shape the future of electrical standards and innovation. This partnership reinforces our commitment to excellence and ensures that our mission-critical infrastructure remains at the forefront of safety, efficiency, and technological advancement,” said ESS Metron CEO Beck Jonson. 

“LS Cable & System USA is proud to be part of an organization that represents the breadth and depth of American electrical manufacturing. Becoming a NEMA member amplifies LSCSUSA’s commitment to engage with industry leaders, contribute to standards that elevate safety and performance, and support the resilience and sustainability of the grid. We see this as an investment in our customers, our staff, and the long-term health of the industry,” said LS Cable & System USA CTO Tim West. 

As NEMA enters its centennial year, the association is accelerating its leadership in critical areas, including policy advocacy, technical standards development, and facilitation of domestic manufacturing for the electrical equipment that powers data centers and AI infrastructure.
