Staco Energy Products Co., headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, is a provider of UPS systems and technologies, voltage control, power conditioning, power factor, and harmonic filtering. Since 1937, Staco Energy has provided business and industries with practical solutions to meet a wide range of power demands. The company plans to build designs that are cost-effective as this industry is very competitive.
Staco Energy Products Company manufactures voltage control, VAR compensation, uninterruptible power supplies and engineered power quality solutions. For more than 75 years, customers worldwide have relied on Staco as their dependable source for standard and tailored solutions to a wide range of electrical power needs. We take great pride in extending our knowledge and expertise to all our valued customers, existing or new.
The company intends to make production decisions based on economics, enabling it to provide end users with cost-effective solutions. Staco Energy plans to develop its sales channels as the company has realized that certain end-user markets are best served by one specific channel as opposed to using multiple channels.
Ed Kwiatkowski, President of the company, shares Staco Energy’s vision of the future as targeted at SMB data center power related solutions, as well as the power quality (PQ) industry. We are entering into our 75 anniversay celebration, “A New Dawn”.
“We have dramatically changed our overall strategy. Staco Energy is a company that has been around for over 75 years and our strategy for growth is to develop data center products specifically for the SMB. Power quality is our only business enabling us to devote our entire effort and focus”, says Ed Kwiatkowski.
“Over 90% of our entire R&D budget is to devoted to the development of new products and channels to support the SMB marketplace”, says Dave Kendall, VP of Sales and Marketing.
Low initial average sale price (ASP), ease of installation, ease of service, combined with our FREE battery replacement program provides the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) in the industry.
This brief recap of many of our marketing and product development activities highlights how you can keep your critical components operating at all times – and with less cost – giving you a competitive advantage.
This 480V UPS family was introduced in December 2010 and is proving to be very popular. It covers a wide input voltage range – 480V +/- 10% making it ideal for SMB data center applications where affordability, efficiency, reliability, availability, and flexibility are essential.
To address the needs of 208V installations, we introduced this UPS family – and it has been well accepted. It covers a wide input voltage range – 208V +/- 10% making it ideal for many applications – including network closets, computer rooms, and small data centers.
Free Battery Replacement Program
To augment these new product introductions, we also introduced our Free Battery Replacement Program – a revolutionary approach to driving down total cost of ownership for our FirstLine P and PL UPS. An industry first, this approach addresses the biggest cost of UPS after point of sale operations – the replacement of batteries. Our double conversion topology means that we revert to battery power far less frequently – which allows us to take bold, industry-leading steps to help lower UPS total cost of ownership (TCO).
FirstLine BMS Battery Monitoring System
Another product launch aimed to provide real-time information on UPS battery status is our FirstLine BMS Wireless Battery Monitoring System. This uniquely wireless easy-to-install product is an ideal complement to the FirstLine P, FirstLine PL, and Free Battery Replacement program, while rounding out our promise of lowering SMB TCO.
“Staco Energy is one of you, an SMB that lives the same pains and joys, having both the background of having existed through our core business during boom times, recognizing that we needed to change our approach and strategy, and choosing the SMB data center space, you, to apply our collective knowledge and expertise toward, and having the vision and capability to deliver on our promises”, says Ed Kwiatkowski, President.
“Staco is aware of how our major competitors in the SMB space assume through implied brand recognition, your business. Staco is committed to you, and has chosen to focus our efforts and energy to deliver on our brand promise of “providing tailored power solutions”, through both value creation and innovation”, says Dave Kendall, VP of Sales and Marketing.
Staco is introducing our FirstLine P 160, 200, 250kVA On-Line Double Conversion Three Phase UPS, resulting in rounding out the higher end of our “Total SMB Power Solution” family. Not only does this result in addressing the SMB IT data center space, but also addresses many of our current power quality vertical markets.
“All of our current and served customers, also have network closets, computer rooms, or data centers, creating an opportunity for Staco to enter the SMB IT data center space”, says Dave Kendall, VP of Sales and Marketing.
“The facilities side is aware of Staco, with most being long standing customers. The recognized need for better relationships between IT and facilities working closer together to optimize collective results has risen to high on the ‘to do” list. This is one way Staco can extend our brand reach, with known capability to deliver on our brand promise”, says Kendall.
Staco has only recently changed our strategy and focus on the data center/IT industry, spending the better part of 2011 building the foundation for success. That said, we have also put our “money and effort where our mouth is”. We are poised, with the introduction of new products and services, to aggressively live up their expectations and needs.
“Unlike most of our larger competitors in this space, we also “walk the talk, and live the lives” of the typical SMB customer, committed to becoming the “solution of choice” to our peers, not assumed business, based on brand” says Kendall.
“We are privately held, Staco Energy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Components Corporation of America, Inc., (CCA) and there are two other subsidiaries that comprise the CCA organization. CCA is always on the lookout for appropriate acquisitions, the board, in fact, has established that as one of the missions for CCA”, says Ed Kwiatkowski, President of Staco.
