Hello everyone, Jordan Yates here with an exciting update from Zeus Power Supplies. Today, I’m joined by Bill Sherwood from Poleline Power Systems (PPS) to discuss their longstanding partnership and how it benefits the electric power industry.

A Strong Partnership

Zeus Power Supplies and Poleline Power Systems have been working closely since Zeus’s inception. Bill, with over 35 years in the industry and 20 years specializing in import outsourcing, plays a crucial role in connecting non-domestic manufacturers with the U.S. market. His expertise and PPS’s broad product range make them invaluable partners in addressing supply chain challenges.

Meeting Market Needs

Zeus and PPS collaborate to provide a wide array of products essential for the electric power industry. From Transformers to small hardware like square washers, they cover it all. Bill highlights that despite recent supply chain issues, their partnership has successfully met diverse needs, ensuring that customers get what they need, when they need it.

Addressing Challenges

The supply chain disruptions of recent years have made sourcing products increasingly difficult. Bill shares that even basic items, like washers, have been hard to find. Zeus’s thorough vetting process ensures that all sourced products meet high-quality standards, providing peace of mind to customers.

Quality and Reliability

One notable aspect of Zeus’s approach is their meticulous quality control. Bill recounts how Zeus’s team, including Shafik from their Houston office, rigorously tests and reviews products. This attention to detail is crucial, especially when dealing with high-stakes items like Transformers. The partnership’s commitment to quality ensures that utilities receive reliable products, essential for maintaining service continuity during emergencies.

A Success Story

The collaboration between Zeus and PPS has been particularly successful in sourcing Transformers. Bill describes how, in 2022, they overcame significant supply chain challenges to deliver Transformers quickly to utilities, a feat that showcased their ability to handle high-demand items effectively.

What Sets PPS Apart

Bill attributes PPS’s success to their experience on both sides of the industry—distributor and supplier. This dual perspective helps them understand and meet the needs of their customers better, ensuring competitive pricing, quality, and reliable stock.

Looking Ahead

As the industry faces ongoing challenges, Zeus and PPS continue to innovate and adapt. Their partnership ensures that both standard and specialized products are available, helping utilities manage their operations smoothly.
