What Brozelco Inc does

Brozelco, Inc. is a Tennessee-based industrial automation solutions provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Rockford, TN, with branch offices in Chattanooga, Nashville, and Kingsport. The company operates three integrated lines of business: (1) authorized industrial distribution of hundreds of product lines from major manufacturers including Eaton, ABB, Schneider Electric, Parker, SEW-Eurodrive, WEG, Toshiba, Eurotherm, Watlow, Pepperl+Fuchs, Rittal, and others, generating revenue through product markups; (2) B.E.S.T. (Brozelco Engineering and Services Team) integration and engineering services, covering application engineering, PLC/HMI/SCADA design, custom control panel manufacturing, multi-axis drive and servo systems, custom machine design and fabrication, licensed electrical contracting, and start-up/commissioning; and (3) manufacturer representation for specialized instrumentation brands including JM-Canty, Heise, Process Sensors Corporation, and Absolute Process Instruments. The technology stack is grounded in classical industrial automation—PLC control, HMI interfaces, drives (AC, DC, servo), motor control centers, switchgear, vision inspection, and SCADA—rather than software or AI-native systems, and the company holds MSHA certification for mining applications.

The company serves industrial customers across automotive, aggregate, mining, military, converting, plastics, rubber, chemical, food & beverage, and utilities, with primary verticals being utilities, mining/aggregates, and manufacturing. Pricing is quote-based across a wide scope from spare parts to multi-million dollar integration projects, with go-to-market executed through territory managers, inside technical support, and direct branch engagement rather than self-service digital channels. On March 3, 2025, Brozelco was acquired by Galco Industrial Electronics (Madison Heights, Michigan), a global industrial electronics and automation distributor; Brozelco continues operating under its established name from its Tennessee locations while gaining access to Galco's broader distribution network and Galco.com eCommerce platform. Management is led by founder/President David Brozenick alongside VP Sales Sid Taylor, VP Operations Chris Johnson, VP Services & Systems Steve Disney, and a bench of branch managers and applications specialists, with the company marketing 200+ years of combined team experience.
