What Easter-Owens Electric Co does

Crusoe, Inc. (operating under the Crusoe brand and historically associated with Easter-Owens Electric Co., founded 1955) is a vertically integrated manufacturer and AI infrastructure provider headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, with a second manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, welds, paints, and assembles modular AI data centers, metal structures, power distribution centers, electrical enclosures, and industrial control systems entirely in-house, enabling delivery in less than half the time of conventional alternatives per its own marketing claims. Its product portfolio spans physical infrastructure — Crusoe Spark modular data centers, NEMA enclosures, PLCs, relay panels, low voltage switchgear, secondary connection cabinets, and bussed gutters — as well as software/services: the Crusoe Cloud AI platform (managed inference, GPU compute on NVIDIA GB200/B200/H200/H100 and AMD MI300X/MI355X hardware), Crusoe Edge Zones for distributed inference, and the Command Center orchestration interface. The business serves two primary segments: AI and technology companies requiring rapid deployment of AI-optimized data center capacity (primary), and industrial/manufacturing customers needing engineered power distribution and electrical protection equipment.
