Pantheon Electric, an electrical infrastructure manufacturer formed through the combination of several metal and conductor businesses, has opened a new headquarters in Stamford.
The company marked the opening of its 4,853-square-foot office at 100 First Stamford Place on Friday morning with a ceremony attended by company executives and state officials, including Gov. Ned Lamont. The main office has 20 employees initially, said spokeswoman Yulia Leskovets.
“We keep expanding,” she said.
The privately held company, backed by Stamford-based private equity firm Olympus Partners, manufactures conductive metal components used in electrical systems serving sectors including data centers, renewable energy, industrial automation, aerospace and transportation.
Pantheon Electric was created by integrating International Wire Group, Hussey Copper, EMS Elektro Metall Schwanenmühle and Special Corde.
- International Wire Group’s North American operations produce engineered copper, aluminum and copper-alloy conductors and related components, while its European business and Special Corde focus on fine wires, ropes and specialty conductors.
- Hussey Copper produces precision copper busbars, strip, sheet and plate used in electrical applications, and EMS manufactures precision-rolled busbars for electrical systems.
Lamont said companies like Pantheon Electric will play a role as Connecticut works to modernize its electric grid and support growing demand from energy-intensive facilities such as data centers.
“We need you more than ever,” he said. “I just got to believe Pantheon Electric is going to be at the forefront of that, and you can help us out a lot. We’ll do everything we can to help you.”
He said AdvanceCT, a nonprofit group responsible for the state’s business recruiting and retention efforts, will assist the company with workforce development.
“We are one telephone call away,” he said. “Tell us the skill set that makes this place a success for you.”
CEO Greg Smith said the company selected Connecticut for its headquarters as it positions itself for long-term growth tied to electrification and digital infrastructure.
He said the fast pace of technological change is creating demand for more advanced electrical systems.
“The next 25 years of progress will likely surpass what we’ve seen over the past six years,” Smith said. “Electrical infrastructure will become more powerful, more resilient and more enabled, while data centers and AI compute will transform every aspect of our lives.”
