Beier said it will acquire SCES’s operations, including a manufacturing plant and equipment in Bay St. Louis, Miss, and will add 13 employees of the South Coast Electric operation to its team.
SCES, a marine and industrial electrical switchgear manufacturer and service provider, has been in business for 14 years. South Coast Electric Systems will now operate under a new name - South Coast Electric, LLC.
“We are very excited about refitting existing vessels and engineering new vessels with our new power and control products from South Coast Electric,”said Beier Integrated Systems President Karl Beier. “This acquisition will allow Beier to add the only missing component – the switchgear – to our fully integrated packages in order to provide a complete turnkey electrical solution to shipyards and ship owners. We are confident this will result in a better engineered and integrated equipment package, reducing cost and eliminating risk for our customers.
