Allied Moulded Makes Waves at Upper Midwest Electrical Expo

Allied Moulded attended the Upper Midwest Electrical Expo (UMWEE) in April to great effect. The expo drew more than 9,000 participants, including electricians, manufacturers, regulators, and a whole lot more. Through the course of the expo, vendors and suppliers set up displays and showed off their latest and best products.

Allied Moulded was among those manufacturers, and they received positive reviews and attention for their booth and their range of electrical enclosures built for residential and industrial applications. By the end of the two-day conference, it was clear that innovation is alive and well in the industry.

The primary set of products displayed by Allied Moulded fits into the electrical enclosure category. While they showed a good range of different enclosures, all of them were built around the same concepts. Protect electrical joints to ensure reliable and safe power connections for countless different applications. This is the bread and butter of Allied Moulded operations, and it is where the company separates itself from other manufacturers.

Part of this separation comes from an emphasis on non-metallic electrical boxes. While some manufacturers focus on metallic boxes, Allied Moulded is committed to developing and improving upon the non-metallic approach. When metals are ditched from box development, a few advantages emerge.

First, non-metallic boxes are resistant to corrosion, so for wet environments and industrial environments that are hard on metals, this is the only way to go. Non-metallic variants also offer non-conducting protection for components within. This is important in many signal-processing applications, and it can help reduce the risk of unintentional grounding.

Non-metallic boxes also offer savings on construction materials. Metals typically cost more, so Allied Moulded is able to produce boxes of the same quality for less money as compared to many metal-based competitors. This fact was not lost on expo attendees.

Even with a focus on these materials, Allied Moulded has a range of adjustable electrical boxes and enclosure accessories.

The adjustable boxes accommodate different construction methods that enable contractors to precisely fit the boxes in desired locations with the ability to adapt to unexpected conditions and scenarios. Adjustable boxes use a simple screwing mechanism that changes their sitting depth within a wall or ceiling, simplifying installation and accommodation to various construction methods.

The list of accessories was also worth noting at the expo. Clamps and templates allow contractors to customize the boxes on the fly, making them even more adaptable and capable. Grounding hardware ensures that the non-metallic boxes can handle systems that require in-box grounding safely and competently. Screws, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners provide clear control over the installation and management of the boxes and the components within.

Overall, Allied Moulded saw a successful showing at the expo, and it was another demonstration of the company’s commitment to growth and development. It’s fair to say that Allied Moulded is an industry leader, and there was enough interest that regular attendees of the expo will be excited to see what this manufacturer has to offer at next year’s event.
