What Simcona Electronics does

Simcona Electronics Corporation is a Rochester, New York-based electronic component distributor and industrial control panel manufacturer founded in 1962. The company operates three integrated service lines: Supply Chain Services (electromechanical components, cable and wire solutions, datacom and surveillance products sourced through a network of 200+ manufacturers); Industrial Control Panel Manufacturing (custom design, sourcing, building, testing, and delivery under UL 508A certification); and value-added services including electronic component kitting and inventory management. Simcona holds ISO 9001:2015, UL 508A, UL label transfer, RoHS, and REACH certifications, and operates from approximately 130,000 sq. ft. across three Rochester facilities with roughly 80 employees.

Simcona serves industrial OEMs, healthcare and medical device manufacturers, aerospace and defense contractors, data infrastructure operators, and infrastructure/utilities customers, primarily in the eastern United States. Its control panels are reported to power more than 45,000 diagnostic imaging suites globally. The company sells directly through account managers and a website request-a-quote channel, using custom quote-based pricing tied to project specifications. No public pricing, marketplace presence, or channel partner model is indicated.

In February 2026, Simcona was acquired by IEWC, a Wisconsin-based global distributor of wire, cable, and connectivity solutions, with the company transitioning to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. President Marc Iacona and the existing leadership team remain in place. The acquisition integrates Simcona's wire and cable distribution into IEWC's OEM division and its panel operations into IEWC's Controls business unit, providing expanded manufacturing capacity and global market reach while preserving the local Simcona brand and Rochester operations.
