UCEC Employee Spotlight: Meet Max Nelson

Max Nelson moved to Denver a few years ago for a change of scenery and a chance to start a new career. He found all that and more at UCEC, where he’s worked as a wireman on the Wiring side of the shop since December 2015.

The Best Team in the Business

When it comes to the UCEC team, we're not shy about telling the world that we make the best control panels, period. All of our departments continually push for improvements in technology and processes. We travel to tradeshows and search for the latest in new tech. We take classes in the newest UL standards. We never settle for "good enough."

Where It Needs to Be

A few months ago, I started acting as UCEC’s unofficial “911 operator.” I’m the one to call if the shop needs a part immediately. I’m kidding about the 911 part, but sometimes, there’s an urgency to our daily shop work.

Shop Life: March Blows in Like a Lion

We've had sustained high winds here in the Denver Metro area the last few days. And while we might prefer the calmer, more "lamb-like" performance of late March, we're keeping on with the work of panel craftsmanship inside the shop.

UCEC Vendor Spotlight: Meet Beyond Components

While many of UCEC’s vendors and partners go “way back” years and even decades, our relationship with Beyond Components is just a few years old. But I have a good feeling we’ll be talking about working with the company for many years to come.

A Greener Wire Duct

In our ongoing efforts to be as “green” a panel shop as we can be, one new initiative is helping us be better stewards to the planet. We are now using recyclable wire duct in many of our panels.
