What Progressive Industries does

Progressive Industries engineers and manufactures electrical protection hardware — surge protectors, adapters, and connectors — designed to shield recreational vehicles from power surges caused by faulty wiring, dangerous weather, and outages. Products are engineered specifically for harsh environments and marketed as meeting exacting performance specifications and international quality standards. The company's primary customer segment is RV owners, with secondary application in marine and industrial vehicle power systems.

The business operates as a brand within Navico Group, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), one of approximately 20 brands in the parent's portfolio covering marine, RV, and industrial verticals. Progressive Industries is headquartered at N85 W12545 Westbrook Crossing, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and employs 11-50 people. It sells through a direct-to-consumer model supported by a dedicated phone line (1-800 307 6702), email support ([email protected]), and an online ParkPower Catalog providing documentation, spec charts, and installation guides.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of RV-focused electrical protection products, with pricing handled individually rather than publicly disclosed. Distribution leverages the Navico Group / Brunswick corporate structure for brand visibility and cross-portfolio marketing, while direct customer engagement is maintained for installation support and sales inquiries. There is no disclosed software, AI, or connected-product layer; the offering is fundamentally a hardware-electrical protection business tied to RV aftermarket demand.
