Our Vision:
To become the world class leader in providing innovative electrical and data solutions
to the office furniture industry.
Our History:
ECA was founded in April 1975 by David McCarthy, an Electrical Engineer. Through
his vision and leadership ECA expanded from manufacturing wiring harnesses to providing
electrical solutions for panel system furniture. As the demand for power and data
in offices changed over the years, ECA began offering new products to meet those
needs. This new line of worksurface products grew until now it encompasses hundreds
of different style products for virtually any application. David McCarthy passed
away in May of 2004 but his legacy lives on through his employees and products.
In May of 2006 Premier Manufacturing Group, a partnership consisting of two long
time employees and a third business associate purchased ECA.
Our Future:
The new owners of ECA are committed to building on its strengths while also investing
in its future. Commitments to product development, customer service and support
and the manufacturing of quality products are their top priorities. These key elements
have become the building blocks for ECA’s future.
ECA is located in Shelton Connecticut. Our products
are typically UL Listed, UR recognized or CSA certified.
