Richards Manufacturing Company is a family owned and operated business that has supplied utilities with product for over 70 years. With humble beginnings as a manufacturer of a single style of underground electrical connector, Richards has evolved to offer a variety of product lines. Our offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Irvington, NJ—approximately 14 miles west of New York City.
Richards divides its products into 4 product lines:
Connectors
Medium Voltage Products
Network Protectors and Accessories
Natural Gas Products
The Connectors, Medium Voltage, and Network Protectors and Accessories product lines are primarily geared towards Electrical Power Distribution systems. These systems cover everything between sub-transmission "substations" and the customer. While there is no official cutoff between sub-transmission and distribution systems, the cutoff is generally 69,000 Volts in North America.
