ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Electric Power Systems (EPS) and North American Substation Services (NASS), the industry-leading partnership in providing apparatus testing, engineering and design, repair, maintenance, commissioning, and equipment assembly services, is proud to reveal the development of holding company Voltyx, as well as a major rebranding, that reflects its future-oriented growth strategy.

This change was brought about during this year’s rapid expansion across the US following the merger of EPS and NASS in April of 2021, including the acquisitions of HART High Voltage out of Yuba City, CA, and Krause Power Engineering out of Chippewa Falls, WI. The family of companies also includes NOMOS Systems out of Quebec City, Canada, Transformer Lifecycle Services (TLS) out of Yuma, TN, and EPS Technology (EPST) out of Durham, CT.

In an interview, Daniel Niccum, President, commented, “Our clients are strained by the complex needs of supporting an aging grid with increasing demand based on broader electrification trends, while also transitioning toward modern, renewable generation systems. They are facing increasingly unique challenges while also dealing with shortages in workforce talent to address these challenges internally. The creation of Voltyx is our statement that ‘we hear you – and our family of brands has the staff, knowledge, and service portfolio to partner with you through whatever challenges you are facing.'”

Looking toward the future for clients meant rebranding the family of companies to share thatfuture-focus, while also showing a united commitment to the highest industry standards, led by a focused leadership team committed to providing innovative guidance and expertise. CEO Steve Reed explains, “Our companies have been serving the electrical grid for over 40 years, and now are we are positioned on the leading edge of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to modernize, monitor, manage, and maintain power infrastructure needs.
