Group CBS, Inc., Addison, Texas, added to its capabilities in custom manufacturing, restoration, distribution and servicing of switchgear, circuit breakers and other electrical equipment with a deal announced this week to buy Electric Control Equipment Co., Norwalk, Conn.
Electric Control provides electrical equipment, repair, remanufacturing, and life-extension services to industrial and commercial customers worldwide. It will be integrated into Group CBS’s Circuit Breaker Sales NE Inc. affiliate, which the group established in April with the acquisition of Diversified Electric Services, Inc., Seymour, Conn.
“Electric Control has a 60-year history of industry leadership and success providing custom and remanufactured switchgear, circuit breakers, parts, rentals, and emergency work to industrial end users, utilities, municipalities, government facilities, and Fortune 500 companies,” said Bill Schofield, vice president of Group CBS.
Electric Control’s Dan Kahn will join the CBS Northeast sales team.
