ELECTROSWITCH POWER SWITCHES AND RELAYS Starting with only six employees, Electroswitch was founded in 1946 in Weymouth, Massachusetts as a switch supplier to the military. Over the succeeding decades, the expertise acquired in designing and building rugged, high quality, mil-spec rotary switches was adapted to new product lines as the company expanded into the heavy duty Industrial and Electric Utility markets.

From critical applications like life support systems and massive data communications centers to everyday necessities like street lighting, people depend on the performance of electrical switches.
