Working with Litus
Local, flexible, and built in the brand your spec names.
Litus builds in San Diego, in ABB, Schneider Electric (Square D), Eaton, or Siemens, and the same team handles the project from the bid set through delivery.
Most jobs are standard work done quickly by people you can reach. When the lead time or the specification does not fit a catalog, we build that too.
We’re often called when
Find your path
Four paths in, built around your role on the project.
Contractors & EPCs
Keep the project moving
Motor control centers, switchboards, panelboards, VFD cabinets, and custom-built electrical equipment, with responsive quoting and direct access to the people doing the work.
Contractors & EPCs
System Integrators
Your manufacturing partner
Build-to-print manufacturing, a redline pass before metal, and repeatable production, with the field scope staying yours.
System Integrators
OEMs
Power and controls assemblies aren’t your core business
Turn a prototype or internally built assembly into a documented, repeatable production process, without adding another manufacturing operation.
OEM Manufacturing
Water & Wastewater
Pump control and lift stations
Pump control, lift stations, and treatment infrastructure, built for environments and schedules that don’t leave room for another long lead time.
Water & Wastewater
Built in San Diego
Wire cut and labeled by machine, straight from your drawings.
Products & Capabilities
One package, one quote.
Engineered & Built at Litus
Some gear is engineered and built at Litus: switchboards, control panels, and custom motor-control sections. A switchboard is engineered to your one-line.
Supplied by Litus
Some gear we supply as part of your package: panelboards and standard components, in the brand your spec names.
Switchboards
Service-entrance rated lineups, custom bussing, and utility metering sections.
Panelboards
UL 67 panelboards and distribution panels, sourced as part of one accountable package.
Motor Control Centers
Structure and standard sections in the brand your spec names; custom sections built at Litus.
VFD Cabinets
VFD panels, soft starters, and combination starters. Custom-built or pre-engineered on Quick-Ship.

How a project moves
One process, whether we build the gear or supply it.
Illustrative build sequence — not a literal drawing of any single product.
Your BOM & Drawings, or One-Line & Spec
You send what you have. We load the BOM and drawings into our MRP, or engineer the lineup from your one-line or spec.
Designed, or redlined
Gear built at Litus is engineered against your one-line and fault current; an assembly you designed gets one redline pass before metal is cut, so what will be expensive or slow to build surfaces on the quote.
Engineered & Built at Litus
Bus, breakers, and custom sections come together on our floor: switchboards, panels, MCC sections.
Built and Sourced in Parallel
Supplied gear is ordered through authorized distribution and ships factory-direct, while everything built at Litus is wired, tested, and FAT’d here, and the package is coordinated so both arrive together.
Every Build Carries the Litus Mark
Everything built at Litus is torque-sealed, serialized, and signed off under our own UL file, and supplied gear ships under its manufacturer’s listing, documented in the same package.
One Package, One Quote
Labeled, torque-sealed, and documented under the Litus file. Every quote states which path each line item took.
After it ships
The same team, after it ships: a change like a resized drive is priced from the original drawings, and a repair like a damaged bucket comes back to the shop, both handled by the people who built it without a factory requote.
Every quote states which path each line item takes, and everything built at Litus passes through the same review, testing, and FAT before it ships.
Three ways this plays out
See how a project like yours runs, step by step.
A bid set comes in with a Division 26 spec. The path from award to gear on the truck runs through two external gates: the engineer’s submittal approval and the utility’s meter section.
Bid set in
Plans plus the Division 26 spec, and a bid date. Every distribution and control item gets bucketed: built-panel bid, gear-supply, or no-bid.
Budgetary, then firm
A budgetary range goes out first, then a firm proposal by your bid date, carrying Litus-built lines and factory-supplied lines on one quote.
Award & submittals
PO issued; submittals go to the engineer of record, and utility metering drawings are prepared where there’s a service section.
Built and sourced in parallel
Litus-built boards and panels are built, labeled, and tested in San Diego while the supplied gear ships from the manufacturer.
Ships FOB San Diego
The contractor installs, and the inspector signs off on the label.
Shop-repair lane stays open
Retrofills, breaker replacements, and parts are available from the shop after delivery.
An OEM’s electrical assembly often grows up alongside the product it runs. Litus turns it into a serialized, documented repeat unit.
Send the existing build
Drawings, a BOM, often an existing unit, and a volume forecast.
DFM review before pricing
Buildability, component consolidation, listing path, and brand options as a lead-time hedge.
Per-unit quote
Priced by volume tier plus NRE, with first-article and consignment terms stated.
First article approved
Engineering freezes the BOM under revision control; the shop builds a first article and produces an FAI report for approval.
Production releases
Units are serialized, torque-sealed, labeled at the wire, the terminal, and the device, and tested per unit.
Ships to schedule
Repeat units ship with per-unit documentation, and ECOs are handled under revision control.
The SI keeps the design, the programming, and the site. Litus takes the build, with one gate before metal is cut.
Send the print
Drawings, BOM, panel schedule, and spec: the build-to-print package. A complete package prices fastest.
DFM notes on the quote
Anything that would be expensive or slow to build is flagged on the quote itself.
One redline pass before metal
A buildability pass the SI approves, along with the PO. Shop drawings are then revision-locked.
Built to your design
Automated wire processing from your drawings; labeled under the Litus UL 508A file.
FAT you can witness
Point-to-point, termination list, and FAT forms ship with the assembly.
You keep the site
You program, install, and commission.
Representative process, not a specific project timeline. Send us your details and we’ll walk you through what it looks like for your scope.
Why Litus
Manufacturer-grade systems with job-shop agility.
Decision Speed
The people reviewing your project are close to the people building it. Questions and exceptions don’t travel through layers of approvals.
Any Brand. Our Label.
Litus builds in the brand your spec names: ABB, Schneider Electric (Square D), Eaton, or Siemens. Each assembly is engineered and UL Listed under Litus’s own UL 891 or UL 508A file, with the components your engineer specified. When the spec is open, we tell you which brand ships fastest and price it as a separate line.
Designed, Built & Tested
Gear we design is engineered against your one-line; gear you design gets a redline pass before metal is cut; every build is tested against defined requirements before it ships.
The Same People, Start to Finish
The people who quote your project build it, test it, and handle changes and repairs in our shop after it ships. A resized drive or a damaged bucket or bucket door goes to the team that knows the gear, without a factory requote.
Case studies

Featured case study
37 Cabinets. Four Weeks to Build.
An urgent project required 37 camera power cabinets on a timeline that standard lead times couldn’t support. Litus restructured sourcing, ran production in parallel, and absorbed a customer-driven design revision without losing the schedule.
- Every cabinet powered and checked before shipment
- A design change absorbed mid-production, on schedule
- Enclosures compressed from a 4–6 week market lead time to nine working days
