TE acquires Richards Manufacturing
Expanded portfolio to better serve customers in upgrading underground grids and meeting the growing demand for electricity.
Grid Connectivity + Reliability
You're faced with daily challenges, like unforgiving environments, installation accuracy, animal-induced outages, and evolving technology and regulations. Will a tracked material cause a flashover – or worse, a wildfire? How will you manage the accelerating trends of decarbonization, grid hardening, network decentralization, and digitalization?
When you’re tasked with building the energy infrastructure of the future – robust, intelligent, and emission-free – every connection counts.
From generation to transmission to distribution, and wherever energy is needed, we’re with you every step of the way. Our comprehensive portfolio includes cable accessories, connectors and fittings, surge arresters, insulation and protection covers, smart grid systems, metering solutions, and installation training. No matter where in the energy landscape, we help optimize asset service life and prevent the costly outages – from underground failures to animal interference, material tracking, and flashovers.
Our vision is to be your partner of choice for innovating sustainable energy networks that keep the power on. With over 70 years of experience, you benefit from a portfolio of brands trusted worldwide for safety, performance, and reliability.
To serve you with an even broader portfolio, we have acquired Richards Manufacturing, a leader in underground distribution equipment; Harger, a leader in grounding solutions and lightning protection; and Kries, a pioneer in smart grid monitoring and automation.
