POWERS UP!

More Than a Component Supplier

At Curtis Industries, we know our customers aren't simply looking for parts. They're looking for solutions that keep production moving, projects on schedule, and their businesses moving forward.

For more than 90 years, Curtis has built its reputation on more than the products we manufacture. Our experience allows us to help customers navigate challenges - from finding replacements for obsolete or difficult-to-source components to solving lead-time issues, evaluating materials, and developing custom manufactured solutions.

But just as important as the products we've built are the relationships we've built along the way. Our manufacturer representatives and distribution partners extend the Curtis team throughout North America, bringing valuable product knowledge, local relationships, and an understanding of our customers' applications and needs.

As we head into the final months of 2026, our focus remains the same: dependable products, responsive service, experienced problem-solving, and partnerships our customers can count on.

To our reps, distributors, customers, and engineering partners, thank you for your continued trust in Curtis Industries. We're proud of what we've built together - and excited about what's ahead.

Please email me at sjpowers@curtisind.com with any questions, comments, or business inquiries.

Cheers,

Steven

When a Terminal Block Disappears, Your Design Doesn't Have To...

Product obsolescence is becoming an engineering problem - not just a purchasing problem.

When a terminal block reaches end-of-life, the impact can extend far beyond finding another part number.

Engineers may need to evaluate dimensions, mounting configurations, electrical ratings, pitch, wire ranges, approvals, and other specifications before approving a replacement. For legacy products, that process can become even more challenging.

Curtis Industries helps simplify the transition.

Our extensive terminal block portfolio and cross-reference resources allow customers to identify Curtis alternatives for many discontinued and difficult-to-source products - including terminal blocks affected by Molex end-of-life announcements.

Instead of starting over, let Curtis help you find the right cross.

Benefits include:

✔ Avoid costly redesigns & maintain production schedules

✔ Reduce project delays & procurement lead times

✔ Improve component availability

✔ Utilize North American Manufacturing

If you're struggling to source Molex or other OEM terminal blocks, contact the Curtis team for assistance identifying a direct replacement solution.

WECO Lead Times Still Creating Challenges?

There's another option.

Availability and extended lead times for Euro-style terminal strips continue to create sourcing challenges for some manufacturers.

Through our partnership with Korner, Curtis Industries provides direct cross alternatives for many WECO Euro-style terminal strips used in low-voltage power applications.

✔ DIRECT CROSS SOLUTIONS - Reduce the need for costly redesigns.

✔ IMPROVED AVAILABILITY - Help minimize delays caused by extended lead times.

✔ TECHNICAL SUPPORT - Curtis can identify the appropriate cross for your application.

✔ DEPENDABLE SOURCING - A solution backed by a supplier you've trusted for decades.

If WECO availability is affecting your production schedule, talk to Curtis about an alternative.

Whether you're designing new equipment or maintaining existing platforms, Curtis and Korner provide dependable solutions that help keep projects moving.

What If the Component You Need Doesn't Exist?

That's where custom molding begins.

Off-the-shelf components work - until they don't.

Curtis Industries provides custom molding capabilities for customers requiring specialized electrical and industrial components engineered around demanding performance requirements.

Our experience includes engineering-grade thermoplastics, phenolics/BMC materials, high-temperature resins, and insert molding, giving design engineers greater flexibility when developing components that must withstand demanding electrical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental conditions.

Our custom molding capabilities support applications requiring:

✔ Tight dimensional tolerances

✔ High-temperature performance

✔ Superior dielectric properties

✔ Chemical and environmental resistance

✔ Long-term durability in demanding environments

From complex geometries and tight tolerances to molded-in metal inserts and specialized material requirements, Curtis can work with your engineering team from concept through production.

The result isn't simply a molded part. It's a component engineered for your application.
