According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 899 establishments operated in this category for part or all of 2004. Industry-wide employment totaled approximately 33,553 workers receiving a payroll of nearly $1.6 billion. Companies in this industry tended to be smaller in size, with about 84 percent employing less than 100 workers. The Annual Survey of Manufactures reported that overall shipments for the industry were valued at nearly $7.8 billion in 2005. Additionally, for the industry a total of 18,132 employees worked in production in 2005, putting in nearly 37 million hours to earn wages of nearly $618 million.

The industry leader for 2005 was American Power Conversion Corp. of West Kingston, Rhode Island, with sales of nearly $2.0 billion—a 30 percent increase from 2005—and 7,580 employees. In distant second place was Rockford, Illinois-based Woodward Governor Co., with nearly $828 million in sales and 3,500 employees. Lepel Corp. of Edgewood, New York, took third place, with sales of $769 million in 2005.

The industry is divided into several different categories, with non-electric rectifying apparatus, which is used to convert alternating current to direct current, accounting for about 19 percent of shipment values in 2005. Laser generator power supplies and components were responsible for about 13 percent of 2005 shipment values, while non-electric capacitor equipment made up about 4 percent. The segment of other electrical equipment for industrial use comprised about 12 percent of 2005 shipment value totals and included electrical coil windings, surge suppressors, and cathodic protection equipment; this same category, but excluding items for industrial use, accounted for about 3 percent, and included electric gongs, chimes, bells, and electrical door openers (except garage door openers). Amounting to slightly less than 3 percent of the industry was...
