PanelShop.com is pleased to announce its new partnership with alpscontrols.com who is also located in Pittsburgh, PA.  Alpscontrols.com is the world’s largest online marketplace for HVAC and building automation control parts and peripherals. 

This partnership was established based on the growing demand of alpscontrols.com customers, and the ability to deliver the right solution quickly, by PanelShop.com.  Being geographically close to each other, opportunities to collaborate and work as true partners has been attractive to both companies.  “Being a dot-com business with global reach, we value opportunities to work with other local businesses”, said Ryan Svilar, General Manager of PanelShop.com.  He continued, “Alpscontrols.com has been a great partner, and we look forward to a future of shared success in the HVAC and building automation industries.”

“Sometimes you will have too many panels to build for a given project and you might stretch your resources to their breaking point.  Other times you might not have enough panels to build so it’s hard to justify using your own resources,” explains alpscontrols.com Director of Marketing, Alan Lopuszynski.  Specifically referencing their EZ Panel offering, he elaborates, “You can now go on our website and choose Hoffman or Saginaw enclosures, choose a size option, choose back plates, terminal blocks, power controls, and you can trick that panel out exactly how you want it.” 

If the exact panel controls or configurations needed are not listed on alpscontrols.com, alpscontrols.com technical staff will work with PanelShop.com to develop a customized panel.  Customers will be given a unique part number to be stored in their personal alpscontrols.com account to allow easy reordering of the customized product. 

The panels made are completely customizable but are not expensive because of the high-end equipment used to automate panel building at extremely high-levels of efficiency.  “Our people really get excited on being creative and finding innovative ways for customers to save money but also add features and technology,” stated co-owner of PanelShop.com, Mike Gunniers.

PanelShop.com is an online resource for custom electrical control panels and products and is backed by a diverse team of electrical engineers, assemblymen, drive specialists, and electricians with decades of industry experience. PanelShop.com was founded in 2012 by managing partners Walt Dollard and Mike Gunniers, 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Finalists.
