Powell is a dynamic leader in custom-engineered electrical distribution, control, and safety equipment, serving oil & gas, petrochemicals, utilities, and diversified industrial markets. The company’s robust $1.6B backlog and exposure to megatrends like AI, automation, and electrification position it for sustained growth.
