EPCO adds reps in Florida, California, Delaware, Pennsylvania and N.J.
Engineered Products Company (EPCO), Minneapolis, has added three sales agencies to help continue the double-digit growth it had in 2012: Florida Electrical Sales, Tampa; ELR Sales, Inc., Liverton, Calif.; and Ertel Co., Rosemount, Penn., are now part of EPCO’s 34-agency network serving electrical distributors nationwide.
The company’s 2012 growth was led by its legacy products, ground bonding pigtails and fixture whips, but Jack Schuster, company president said in a press release, “With the outlook in commercial and residential construction anticipated for 2013, we’re seeing significant movement in our lighting products category, including those supporting energy-conservation and retrofit installations. Our new agencies strengthen our ability to take advantage of the uptick in construction market conditions.”

Jim Lucy has been wandering through the electrical market for more than 30 years, most of the time as an editor for Electrical Wholesaling, Electrical Marketing newsletter and CEE News. During that time he and the editorial team for the publications have won numerous national awards for their coverage of the electrical business. He showed an early interest in electricity, when as a youth he had an idea for a hot dog cooker. Unfortunately, the first crude prototype malfunctioned and the arc nearly blew him out of his parents' basement. Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling magazine and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 20 years.
