Industrial automation and drive systems integrator with custom engineering and panel manufacturing
Powerhouse Controls is a 30-year-old systems integrator focused on motor drives, PLC/HMI automation, and custom panel manufacturing across North American industrial markets. Their tech stack—SCADA, PLC, HMI, EPLAN, AutoCAD, C#/.NET on Azure—is deeply specialized for industrial controls, not general software. The active project mix reveals internal scaling pressure: they're simultaneously building automation products, developing digital twins, standardizing their EPLAN/AutoCAD workflows, and addressing documented pain points in project management and tribal knowledge — signals of growth outpacing their operational infrastructure.
Powerhouse Controls provides engineered drive and automation solutions to industrial clients, operating across Canada and the U.S. with international project delivery capability. Core services include custom industrial automation engineering, motor and drive installations (with PLC/HMI expertise), UL/CSA-certified panel manufacturing, and 24/7/365 on-site and remote support. The company operates a hybrid model: project-based systems integration paired with in-house panel manufacturing and field service. Founded in 1992, they have built long-term client relationships and expanded to support complex, mission-critical assignments across multiple geographies.
