Benfield Control Systems

What Benfield Control Systems does

Benfield Control Systems Inc. (BCS) is a private electrical systems integrator and custom engineering firm established in 1978 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Benfield Electric Supply Company, Inc. (founded 1951). Operating from Mount Vernon, NY, with an additional office in White Plains, NY, BCS serves industrial and construction markets across the Northeast United States, designing and assembling custom power distribution and electrical control systems for project-based enterprise customers. Notable reference projects include World Trade Center Towers, Marriott Marquis Times Square, and Hudson Yards.

BCS's product portfolio spans low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear (up to 38kV class), variable frequency drives (VFDs), motor control equipment, custom engineered solutions for critical power applications, and fully integrated automation systems including CPMS/EPMS platforms and UL-listed PLC/HMI panels. In-house engineering capabilities cover PLC/HMI programming and development, power monitoring and SCADA system design, AutoCAD drafting, short-circuit coordination and arc-flash studies, NYC EPR drawing submission, on-site start-up and commissioning, and certified NETA testing. Equipment is sourced and integrated from a broad manufacturer roster including Eaton, GE, ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation, SEL, Vertiv, Kohler, Mitsubishi Electric, and S&C Electric.

Revenue is generated primarily through quote-based hardware sales of switchgear and control equipment, supplemented by professional services revenue from system integration, engineering, value engineering, design-build, and commissioning work. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by in-house engineering personnel who provide fast quotations, technical information, and drawings, with lead generation through the parent company's website, a Request a Quote form, and phone-based engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per project based on specifications.
