Build the products that keep jobsites safe and powered
Imagine the temporary power system on a busy construction site: lights on, tools humming, and everything grounded and compliant. You helped build that—meticulously wiring to NEC standards, validating every connection, and ensuring long-term reliability in the field.
Our purpose
At Ericson Manufacturing Company, we create temporary power, lighting, and electrical safety solutions for commercial/industrial construction, facility maintenance, and beyond. Since 1918, we’ve been family owned with a clear mission: safeguard jobsites through quality, innovative, Made-in-USA products designed for ease of use and longevity.
