Hubbell Power Systems focuses on traditional and modern bushing technologies
One Hubbell
What happens when two of the industry’s leading North American capacitance graded bushing manufacturers are joined into one under the Hubbell Power Systems brand? The resulting Hubbell Power Systems Bushing Business Unit offers one of the most extensive bushing product portfolios while providing customers with world-class service all within a One Hubbell directive.
What began as two separate independently owned bushing businesses, PCORE Electric Company and Electro Composites were united within Hubbell resulting in the most comprehensive combination of bushing technologies, solutions, and technical knowledge, all with a combined 80 years of bushing design and manufacturing experience. PCORE Electric Company was formerly known as the Lapp Insulator Company, Bushing Division until 2004, when it was transformed into PCORE Electric. The business was acquired in 2007 to further strengthen Hubbell’s position in the substation market. To complete the bushing products portfolio with a focus on newer bushing technologies, Hubbell subsequently acquired Electro Composites in 2008, adding composite bushing technology to the product offering.
