ITE

ITE (International Telephone & Electric), later acquired by Siemens, was a pioneering brand in power distribution and circuit protection. ITE electrical equipment, including panelboards, MCCs, and breakers, was widely installed across North America in the mid to late 20th century. Many legacy systems still rely on ITE components today, especially in industrial, commercial, and institutional buildings. Though discontinued, ITE products remain in high demand for service, retrofit, and replacement purposes.
