Powersmiths: A history, our values and mission.

History and Overview

Founded in 1996, Powersmiths is committed to building a sustainable future. Through the innovation, manufacturing and marketing of products and services, Powersmiths helps organizations manage and reduce resource-use and emissions, while supporting and promoting sustainability initiatives.

A commitment to sustainability guides Powersmiths to consistently strive to advance in the field of energy efficiency, stimulating substantial innovations in power quality and energy monitoring and management technologies. Powersmiths pioneered the development and manufacturing of ultra-efficient transformers offering our customers the lowest lifecycle ownership cost, which go far beyond the 2005 Energy Act. This includes data centers and mission critical facilities. To demonstrate the efficiency and performance of our products in the field, Powersmiths developed meters and sensors. These meters and sensors are used to quantify savings in kWh, cost and environmental impact. WOW was developed as a natural progression to fulfill the needs of the marketplace and support organizations on a journey to become more sustainable, economically, environmentally and socially.

Our vision is simple - by reducing our waste today, we are improving our environment for future generations.

 Corporate Brochure

A "lean and green" strategy guides Powersmiths operations and services. Initiatives such as increasing transformer efficiency, use of FSC wood and biodegradable product packaging and the reduction of harmful volatile organic compounds in production processes, are just a few examples of the extent to which Powersmiths takes its values seriously. Through its commitment to these efforts Powersmiths has earned the prestigious ISO 14001 certification.

By taking a quality-centric approach to operational procedures, Powersmiths is able to consistently provide products and services that meet and exceed customer expectations. Effective governance of fundamentals, such as terminology, performance improvement metrics, documentation of processes, training practices, and financial management are a few of the areas that have allowed Powersmiths to earn the renowned ISO 9001 certification.

ISO9001-1
In addition to its ISO 9001 certification, Powersmiths extends its quality-centric approach to the performance of its products. Through meticulous and methodical testing by highly skillful and proficient staff, Powersmiths’ testing procedures are validated by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) to produce traceable and reliable results.
