El-Tex Industries, Inc. is an industrial electrical control panel manufacturer based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, founded in 1973. Its website positions the company not as a seller of standardized electrical products, but as a project-based custom builder of control cabinets, junction boxes, PLC enclosures, power distribution panels, pump/motor/lighting control panels, and similar equipment for industrial users, utilities, contractors, OEMs, engineering firms, and system integrators.
Its core capability is “building and assembling to specification.” Customers can provide complete drawings, BOMs, and technical requirements, or ask El-Tex to help create electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts. AutoCAD and Microstation formats are supported. The company is qualified for UL 508A industrial control panels, and also covers UL 698A, control panels for hazardous locations, and compliance needs related to CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive. Each panel is tested under its QA system and customer requirements, including point-to-point continuity checks and logic/relay functional testing. Customer-witnessed factory acceptance testing is also supported.
The website does not publish a price list and follows the typical industrial project quotation model. Final pricing depends on panel complexity, component selection, certification markings, testing requirements, lead time, and documentation requirements. The FAQ notes that UL labeling is available as an option, and eligible panels require additional review and cost.
The main advantages are its long industry history, large number of completed projects, and UL labeling capability for the U.S. and Canadian markets, making it attractive for high-reliability scenarios such as utilities, hazardous areas, and plant shutdown retrofits. Its long-tenured staff and quality record system also help with repeat projects and future modifications. The downsides are that the website feels dated, with no online configurator, limited case studies, no standard lead-time information, and no digital procurement workflow. In addition, it does not fabricate sheet-metal enclosures in-house, so the enclosure stage depends on partner suppliers.
El-Tex is suitable for industrial companies, EPC/engineering firms, equipment manufacturers, system integrators, utilities, and OEMs needing temporary outsourced assembly capacity for projects in the U.S. and North America. It is less suitable for users looking for low-cost off-the-shelf electrical boxes, consumer-grade electrical products, or a fully online ordering experience.
Given the nature of the site, it appears to be a standard corporate website and is usually directly accessible. Chinese companies considering cooperation should pay particular attention to the applicable scope of UL/CE compliance, export shipping, after-sales response, payment methods, and whether the products meet local Chinese electrical standards.
