Madison Electric Products buys Smart Pathways

Madison Electric Products, Cleveland, has acquired Smart Pathways, a manufacturer and distributor of Smart LB telecommunications conduit bodies. It’s the second company Madison has acquired through the Sparks Innovation Center, its crowdsourced product development platform.

A Madison Electric press release said conduit bodies have long been part of the installers’ toolbox, but Smart Pathways offers a more advanced solution that solves numerous problems they face on a daily basis. The Smart LB conduit body has a built-in elbow that helps prevent cables from getting caught or damaged when they’re pulled around corners. Unlike traditional LBs that have a sharp 90-degree corner, this helps save time and labor during installation.
