Portage Electric Products, Inc.

Portage Electric Products, Inc. (PEPI) is a major developer and manufacturer of thermal controls headquartered in the United States in North Canton, Ohio. Our thermal control products are used primarily in small motors, appliances, battery packs and similar applications. PEPI thermal controls are sold worldwide and are almost always customized in some way to fit special customer needs.

The PEPI line of thermal controls includes both creep-action (slow break, slow make) and snap-action (quick break, quick make) devices. All of our controls utilize specially selected bimetallic elements which react to increases in temperature and or current to open or close the electrical circuit.

Our business, which was founded in 1963 is based on superior product engineering, customization to meet specific customer needs, automated production, 100% quality inspection and exceptionally responsive customer service. We are a privately held concern now led by CEO Brandon Wehl, an Electrical Engineer, who is the third generation of the Wehl family to guide the company.
