Cleaveland/Price’s roots go back to 1975, when Chuck Cleaveland accepted responsibility for supplying replacement parts for discontinued Westinghouse switches. From the perspective of a renewal parts supplier, our engineers began developing switches that address problems found in switch designs. Since then, Cleaveland/Price has grown to offer a complete line of group-operated switches rated up to 500 kV, along with a broad line of hookstick-operated switch products, motor operators, sensory products, and accessories.

Our ongoing R&D program is a factor in the growth of the company and has yielded innovative products such as transmission class in-line disconnect switches, solid-state motor operator controls, variable speed motor operators, non-hydraulic operators for overhead switches, and automation controllers for retrofitting to padmount and underground switchgear. Growth is sustained by continuous improvement of manufacturing systems and facilities. Extensive CNC capabilities have been established throughout the manufacturing process resulting in the most advanced vertically integrated manufacturing facility in the industry.
