History

On March 29, 1956, the company was founded as G-L Electronics Company in New Jersey, and it has changed its name to G-L Industries, Inc. (1963), SGL Industries, Inc. (1970), and finally SL Industries, Inc. (1984) in its history of marketing in the power electronics and power protection industries. Its subsidiary SLPE was formed by the merger of Ault and Condor. [2]

In 2016 SL Industries was acquired by Handy & Harman.

Products

All of the company’s subsidiaries are ISO 9001 certified. SL Power Electronics Corp. focuses on power conversion products, such as AC/DC internal/ external switch mode power supplies and chargers. The High Power Group (under the Teal and MTE two brands) focuses on integrated power management systems, custom power conditioning for markets of medical imaging, military aerospace, semiconductor, solar photovoltaic(PV). It also provides line and load reactors, custom magnetic products, and a series of harmonic, RFI/EMI, and motor protection filters. The SL-MTI focuses on power density custom and build-to-print wound components for military, aerospace motor markets. The RFL focuses on power protection systems for electric utility transmission lines and apparatus. These products are microprocessor controlled, with digital communications capabilities (T1/E1, SONET/SDH, TDM over Internet). [3] In 2013, RFL Electronics Inc. had a rebranding and introduced new solutions in response to the increasing rate of change faced by its customers. [4] [5]

A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end-customers. Its architecture implements a point-to-multipoint topology in which a single optical fiber serves multiple endpoints by using unpowered (passive) fiber-optic splitters to divide the fiber bandwidth among the endpoints. Passive optical networks are often referred to as the last mile between an Internet service provider (ISP) and its customers. Many fiber ISPs prefer this technology.
