Paneltronics

What Paneltronics does

Paneltronics, Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned manufacturer of electrical control panels and assemblies founded in September 1979 and headquartered in Hialeah Gardens, Florida. The company designs, engineers, and produces custom and standard power distribution panels, switch panels, instrument panels, power distribution units (PDUs), and enclosure/box-build assemblies, alongside a catalog of supporting electrical components (circuit breakers, fuses, switches, indicator lights, bus bars, panel meters, and labels). Its vertically integrated manufacturing footprint encompasses 3D CAD design (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), CNC sheet metal punching and routing, welding, screen printing, painting, and plastic injection molding, enabling in-house production from concept through assembly.

The company's product portfolio is organized into three main tiers: (1) Custom OEM Panels & Assemblies — quote-based, build-to-print turnkey solutions for OEM customers with multi-year contract structures and ~4-week design-to-production lead times; (2) Configurable Standard Product Lines — Deluxe and Premier Lines with modular designs and interchangeable labels (250+ panel designs, 3,000+ function labels), factory stocked Standard Line panels, EIA-310 19-inch rack-mount panels, and push-to-reset circuit breaker panels; (3) Waterproof Switch Panels — circuit breaker, toggle, and rocker variants engineered for salt-spray and open-cockpit environments. Pricing is unit-based for standard products and quote-based for custom OEM work, with $25 minimum orders online and Net 15/30 trade terms for qualified accounts.

Paneltronics serves OEMs across seven primary verticals — marine (boats, yachts), military and defense, specialty vehicles (emergency, medical, command, communications), recreational vehicles and motorcoaches, industrial equipment (construction, generators, light towers), entertainment and events (concert/stage lighting, theatrical PDUs), and aftermarket/distributor channels. It sells through direct OEM engagement with technical sales representatives, domestic and international wholesale distributors and dealers, catalog retailers, and its own e-commerce storefront. The company holds ABYC compliance and participates in ABYC standards development since 1988, with UL, CSA, CE, VDE, and UL 1500 certifications supporting marine, military, and international market access. It also qualifies as a minority-owned Small Disadvantaged Business Concern (SDB), positioning it for U.S. federal procurement opportunities.
