What Gavan Graham Electrical Products does

Gavan Graham Electrical Products (legal name Gavan-Graham) is a custom electrical switchgear and power distribution equipment manufacturer founded in 1945 and headquartered in Union, New Jersey. The company designs and builds UL891 low-voltage switchboards up to 6000A, UL1558 low-voltage switchgear with fault-current withstand over 30 cycles, medium-voltage switchgear rated 4.16kV to 38kV, standby and redundant power systems, custom panelboards, and modular E-House electrical buildings. It supports these products with a services portfolio covering preventive maintenance, retrofits and arc flash mitigation, commissioning and relay programming, and digital/smart services including SCADA integration, smart grid and load shedding solutions, and power/revenue metering, plus a QR code documentation system for field maintenance.

The business operates an enterprise field sales model targeting electrical contractors, consulting engineers, and facility managers, with a quote-based pricing structure and project values ranging from under $50,000 to over $1,000,000. Gavan Graham serves mission-critical verticals including data centers, public transit and government, commercial and industrial facilities, and life sciences, with named customers such as NJ Transit, Goldman Sachs (EVC), Johns Hopkins, NYSE, Fox News, NBC, Tyler Perry Studios, Hackensack Medical, Pier 94, and Johnson & Johnson. Its technical differentiators are custom configurability (including a proprietary 3D E-House configurator), in-house trades talent, and UL certifications for safety-critical applications.

The company is a subsidiary of Michael Baker International, a Pittsburgh-based engineering and consulting firm with 3,300+ employees across 86 offices, which itself sits within the DC Capital Partners portfolio of government and engineering services companies. Thomas Campbell serves as Chairman and Manish Vatsayan as CEO. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; with 11-50 employees, the operation is a focused specialty manufacturer leveraging its parent's engineering depth and cross-sell network rather than operating as a standalone scale player.
