What Patton And Cooke does
Patton & Cooke Co. is a Surrey, British Columbia-based designer and manufacturer of medium and high voltage electrical connectors, cable couplers, and related equipment founded in 1961. The company's product portfolio centers on high voltage cable couplers rated from 600V to 25kV (with utility disconnect switches extending to 345kV), serving five primary verticals: mining (trailing cable couplers and cable protection accessories), utilities (substation connectors, junction bars, and Pascor high voltage disconnect switches), shore power (15kV class 500A IEC 80005-1-compliant couplers for cruise and naval vessels plus a newer DC Coupler for battery electric applications), tunneling (TBM electrical packages), and transportation (railroad couplers and trolley fittings manufactured since 1970). Proprietary technology features include IMG Series couplers meeting CSA 22.2 298, factory-equipped Live Line LED voltage indication, integrated fiber optic capabilities exceeding military specifications, and front-end replaceable parts designed to minimize downtime.
The company operates a hardware sales revenue model with quote-based pricing and multi-year contract cadence, distributing exclusively through a global network of authorized distributors and regional agents across North America, Latin America, Europe, Turkey/Middle East, India/Asia, Africa, and Australia/South Pacific. Anchor channel partners include Wesco, Graybar Canada, Eaton (Rolec) in Chile, and various regional specialists. Patton & Cooke is the exclusive authorized supplier of medium voltage shore power couplers to the US Navy and NATO member countries and contributed to the IEC 80005-1 international shore power standard, providing a regulatory and standards-based competitive position. The company is privately held and founder/management-controlled, with Jason Kyle serving as President/CEO since May 28, 2021, following Gary Smith's retirement after 50 years of service.
