Armorcast Products Company

What Armorcast Products Company does

Armorcast Products Company is a manufacturer of above-grade and below-grade composite enclosures serving the utility, telecommunications, and municipal infrastructure markets. Founded around 1966 and headquartered in North Hollywood, California, the company has accumulated 50+ years of manufacturing experience producing durable composite enclosures designed to meet utility specifications for power distribution, telecommunications, and underground infrastructure. Its core technology centers on the patented Voltek Vault Replacement System, a panelized structural composite solution engineered to replace decaying underground utility vaults and provide corrosion-resistant, long-lasting enclosures for above- and below-grade applications.

The company operates as a brand within Hubbell Power Systems, a division of Hubbell Inc., and leverages Hubbell's centralized manufacturing, inventory, billing, and global sales and distribution infrastructure rather than maintaining its own standalone go-to-market organization. Armorcast generates revenue through hardware sales of composite enclosures and the Voltek vault replacement system, sold via Hubbell Power Systems' enterprise field sales channel to electric utilities, telecommunications providers (fiber and 5G deployments), and municipal/government infrastructure buyers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company targets large B2B contracts rather than distributed volume sales, and it competes in the US hand holes market projected to grow at approximately 5.5% CAGR through 2033.
