What Panelmatic does

Panelmatic, legally Panelmatic Electrical Solutions, LLC, is a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of high-performance electrical and control systems founded in 1957 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company engineers protection and control relay panels, industrial control panels, medium voltage switchgear (configurable up to 38 kV, 4000 A, and 63 kA), low voltage switchboards manufactured to UL 891 (up to 4000 A), and factory-built modular solutions including Power Distribution Centers (PDCs) and Integrated Control Houses. Its two proprietary enclosure platforms—PanelSpan (steel-framed, Kynar 500 coated siding, 18–24 gauge galvalume) and PanelLock (interlocking G90 galvanized steel, optional ballistic rating)—are positioned as unique differentiators, with approximately 75% of relay panels integrated into PDCs to compress field work. End markets are Data Centers, Utility, Industrial, and Renewables (solar, wind, battery storage).

Revenue is generated through project-based hardware sales and engineering/design services, with progress payment terms applied to orders exceeding $100,000 (a 20/40/25/15 schedule tied to receipt of order, major materials, IFC drawings, and FCA shipment) and FCA point-of-shipment pricing. Distribution is direct enterprise sales, with dedicated VP-level sales coverage for the Data Center and Utility verticals and a strategic partnership with RIC Power extending the portfolio into arc-resistant switchgear. Operations span five vertically integrated manufacturing facilities across Texas (Houston, Conroe), Ohio (Brookfield, Youngstown), and British Columbia (Burnaby), with a 2025 Houston expansion adding 728,000 square feet of capacity designed for raw-steel-to-finished-building integration. Panelmatic is privately held, employs 101–250 people, and has recently taken undisclosed strategic investment to fund scaling.

Core offering

Panelmatic designs and manufactures custom electrical, instrument, and pneumatic control panels, including relay panels, industrial control panels, medium and low voltage switchgear, power distribution centers, integrated control houses, and engineered enclosures (PanelSpan and PanelLock). The company delivers factory-built, fully integrated modular power and control systems for data center, utility, industrial, and renewable energy customers.

Product overview

Panelmatic offers a unified portfolio of high-performance electrical and control systems across multiple product lines: Relay Panels and Industrial Control Panels provide protection and control functions; Medium Voltage Switchgear (up to 38 kV) and Low Voltage Switchboards (UL 891, up to 4000 A) handle power distribution; Power Distribution Centers and Integrated Control Houses deliver factory-built modular solutions that compress commissioning timelines by up to 50%. The company uniquely provides both PanelSpan (steel-framed) and PanelLock (interlocking self-supporting) enclosure systems, giving customers flexibility for different environments. Solutions serve four vertical markets: Data Centers, Utility, Industrial, and Renewables (solar, wind, battery storage). The company operates five vertically integrated manufacturing facilities in Texas, Ohio, and British Columbia, enabling end-to-end control from raw steel processing through final assembly and testing.
