Since 1905, G&W Electric has helped energize the G&W Shanghai (China)
world with innovative power system solutions. With
the introduction of the first disconnectable cable G&W Canada (Mississauga, Ontario)
terminating device, G&W began to build a reputation
for engineering custom solutions to meet the needs
of system designers. In addition to cable accessories, G&W Mexico (San Luis Potosi)
solutions comprise of the latest in load and fault
interrupting switchgear, reclosers, system protection G&W do Brazil (Salvador)
equipment and distribution automation.

G&W products are backed by extensive design G&W sales office (Delhi, India)
and production testing in accordance with industry
standards. Even more important is the proven G&W sales office (Singapore)
performance and assured reliability that only
comes over time. G&W products have been proving Manufacturer’s Brass and Aluminum Foundry
themselves in installations worldwide for many (Blue Island, IL, USA)
decades.

Today’s G&W combines extensive research and Markets Served

development with ISO 9001 certified quality systems G&W’s serves investor owned, municipal and rural
in both its manufacturing and design processes. An electric cooperative utilities; commercial and industrial;
extensive global sales organization and experienced universities; renewable energy; mining; transportation;
