Brooks Utility Products is one of America’s oldest electric utility manufacturers, uniting E.J. Brooks & Company, Meter Devices Company, and Ekstrom Industries into the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio — all engineered around utility safety, security, and productivity.

The industry is entering a generational build cycle. Grid hardening, an accelerating AMI upgrade wave, and unprecedented load growth from data centers, electrification, and reshored manufacturing are driving demand straight through our core product lines — while rising energy theft and tightening grid-security mandates put our sealing and locking equipment front and center. This is the electric super cycle, and Brooks sits at the heart of it.
