Associates’ Corner - Endicott Research Group, Inc. (ERG)

Endicott Research Group, Inc. (ERG) provides power solutions for backlight displays, general lighting applications, and LED retrofit opportunities. You might be using an ERG product on a daily basis and not even know it! The display at the gas pump may have an ERG inverter powering the light that illuminates it; ERG’s LED driver may be powering the sign of a local business; or you may have a dimmable ERG Lighting LED driver powering your undercabinet kitchen lighting.

ERG began in 1979 developing DC-DC converters to power neon displays. That all changed when General Motors was in need of a high-quality EL lamp to power the coach lamp in its "top-of-the-line" showroom cars. An exclusive relationship between GM and ERG became the cornerstone for growth into other substantial markets such as medical displays, point-of-sale, and defense. ERG continues to design and manufacture standard and custom solutions for CCFL and LED displays as well as DC-DC and EL applications.

In response to the recent explosion of LED technology in the general lighting markets, ERG created a division called ERG Lighting which is dedicated to applying expertise in LED driver solutions to general lighting applications such as street lights, refrigeration lighting,
troffers, showcase, and downlights. This year, ERG developed their own line of Made-in-the-USA LED troffer retrofit kits for both commercial and residential lighting. In addition, they offer contract manufacturing services that provide customers with leading-edge manufacturing processes. ERG is very proud of how they have always responded to changes in technology with innovative and cost-effective solutions for their customers.

ERG ships products around the world, but they are all proudly engineered and built in the
Endicott, NY facility that has served as headquarters for over 35 years. For more information about ERG, visit the websites at ERGpower.com and ERGlighting.com, or contact Nate Burd at 607-754-9187 (nburd@ergpower.com).
