What Electrical Power Products does

Electrical Power Products, Inc. (EP², also known as EPPI) is a privately-held manufacturer's representative and distributor founded in 1991 and headquartered in Summerfield, North Carolina. The company represents multiple electrical equipment manufacturers and sells engineered-to-order power control and protection systems to industrial, construction, commercial, and utility customers across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Its portfolio spans switch gear (pad mount, metal clad, and metal enclosed in SF6, solid dielectric, and dry-air configurations), transformers (single phase, three phase, small power, and GSU in liquid-filled and dry-type variants), instrument transformers, station breakers, relays, and protection devices, plus power quality solutions (capacitor banks, RC dividers, surge arrestors), junction boxes, sectionalizing equipment, fused cut outs, transmission and distribution poles, and lattice towers. The firm also performs EPC substation builds and retrofits, E-House and custom fabrication work, automation design and programming, and ongoing maintenance and service.

Beyond distribution, EP² operates a manufacturing campus in Des Moines, Iowa that produces utility-grade electrical power control and protection equipment, and offers critical power solutions including UPS systems, battery systems and chargers, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The business model is project-based B2B sales with quote-based, non-publicly disclosed pricing; revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales and recurring maintenance/service contracts. Following the May 2026 close of its acquisition by Flex Ltd. for approximately $1.1 billion in cash, EP² operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within Flex's Embedded and Critical Power segment, with FY2026 projected revenue of approximately $323 million and mid-to-high teens adjusted EBITDA margins.

The company is family-led, with President Charlie Gossage III (joined 2011, East Carolina University, Industrial Distribution/Logistics) and Vice President Zach Gossage overseeing daily operations, business development, and financial management alongside inside-sales support. Customers are predominantly regional utilities, power generation operators, industrial facilities, and commercial construction projects; the acquisition rationale highlights growing demand from AI-driven data center operators as a strategic opportunity, alongside grid modernization and U.S. reshoring themes.
