Beckwood Press Company, a leading manufacturer of custom hydraulic presses and automation systems and the Triform line of precision forming equipment, proudly announces their in- house electrical panel assembly shop has earned the distinguished Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certification in accordance with UL Standard 508A.

To receive the UL Listing, Beckwood's electrical panel designs and assembly procedures must comply with rigorous safety standards as well as national and local electrical codes. All sourced panel components are UL Listed and "finger-safe" to eliminate potential shock hazards. Additionally, Beckwood's panel shop will be inspected quarterly to ensure compliance with the 508A Standard.

The UL listing signifies Beckwood's ongoing commitment to workplace safety. "Over the last several years, a growing percentage of our customers have required our electrical panels to meet the UL classification," said Ryan Pendleton, Beckwood's Director of Manufacturing. "This achievement distinguishes Beckwood in the marketplace and gives our customers peace of mind that their press' electrical system is designed to meet the toughest safety standards."
