Powell was founded in 1947 as a metal-working shop to support the local Houston, Texas petrochemical facilities. While we began small, the company has grown to become the strategic supplier of choice for highly complex and integrated systems for the distribution and control of electrical energy and other critical processes.
Today, Powell is a global operation, focusing on the future of electrical infrastructure through innovative technologies developed by our people for our customers.
Powell has a strong commitment to protect people, the environment, and company resources while providing our customized and engineered solutions in a sustainable manner. This approach delivers quality for our customers, protects the health of our employees, increases shareholder value and supports the communities we serve.
Powell has a strong commitment to support the community volunteer efforts of our employees. At Powell, our social purpose is our employees' social purpose. We reward and recognize our Community Champions, and invite all Powell employees to get involved in the community causes that matter to them!
