SJE

Delivering Industry-Leading Contract Manufacturing Services

Todd Holtz, Vice President of Sales – Engineered Products Division

In the OEM space, finding a contract manufacturer that covers all facets of automation and consistently provides a single solution is essential. This rings especially true for control panel contract manufacturing, where OEMs require repeatable equipment that utilizes the same components and provides identical functionality.

Manufacturing control panels to customers’ specifications across the U.S., SJE addresses this need by providing fabrication solutions and a suite of professional services, including design, programming, and commissioning. SJE builds over 80,000 control panels annually and handles standard and customdesigned control panels with in-house engineers.

“We never have to say that a project is outside our capability. We work with our clients and evolve our processes as they grow,” says Todd Holtz, Vice President of Sales – Engineered Products Division of SJE.

From humble beginnings to an industry leader, SJE has grown over the years to cater to a gamut of clients, encompassing installation contractors, municipalities, OEMs, and industrial users. Its journey started in 1975 with Stephen P. Johnston manufacturing the Tank Alert® alarm systems in a garage. Nearly 50 years later, it continues to produce this product and much more.

Focused on growth, SJE now offers industrial control solutions to customers from diverse verticals, like aggregate and asphalt, food and beverages, robotics, HVAC, precast concrete, car wash, adhesives, and metal stamping equipment.

Over the years, it has made many acquisitions and now represents multiple recognized brands known for their innovation and quality.

As an OEM contract manufacturer, SJE offers custom engineering control solutions built to individual specifications. It manages the sourcing of components and raw material inventory and advises clients on obsolete components. The team works with clients to secure and source alternative options for parts with long lead times. Project managers keep their finger on the pulse of the customers’ requests ensuring the delivery is aligned with expectations.

SJE operates multiple UL-listed facilities in the U.S. and has the capability to share manufacturing across facilities with higher capacity or one closer to the customer. This flexibility ensures it can fulfill customers’ needs requiring a single control panel while also having the capacity to work on high-volume projects with over 100 control panels in a short time frame.

We never have to say that a project is outside our capability. We work with our clients and evolve our processes as they grow

This capability was recently demonstrated for one of SJE’s customers, a large warehouse automation OEM that required multiple control panels for a nationwide project. The customer asked the SJE team to help build prototypes to be presented during trials. The prototypes were tested, and the contract was awarded to the client. Following this, it continued building additional panels on a large scale, which are now retrofitted into a number of distribution centers across the country.

Having built a reputation for quality, expertise, and innovation, SJE thrives on word-of-mouth referrals. Aiming to cater to many clients in different industries, it is committed to expanding its capabilities and delivering the most reliable integration of engineering and manufacturing capabilities in the market.
