Prior to Scott Silvey’s appointment to president of General Power & Control, he worked for General Electric. Scott learned one important business practice from Jack Welch at GE– offeronly premium products to your customer.
So, when Scott joined General Power and Control as its president, he set the goal for his team to only have representative agreements with premium electrical product manufacturers. Over the past 15 years, the team has continually added one premium line after another. However, they were missing one premium product line.
That is, until now.
“When we heard that the territory for Louisiana and Mississippi for Plasti-Bond had become available, we immediately jumped at the opportunity to represent the Plasti-Bond line. Why? Because we knew from our customers that Plasti-Bond was the premiere line in the PVC-coated conduit product category,” stated Scott.
“We also knew it would be a challenge to convince Plasti-Bond to let us represent the line, as they are not known as a company that would assign the line to just any electrical representative firm. During our meeting with the executives from Plasti-Bond we explained to them about our long term commitment to ONLY offer our customers premium products,” continued Scott.

“Luckily for us, it was the message they wanted to hear. Now, we are officially representatives of Plasti-Bond in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi.”
Steve Voelzke, President, Plasti-Bond PVC Coated Conduit,
said, “After we heard General Power & Control’s premium product commitment, set over 15 years ago, and that they had not backed down from the commitment, we knew we had found the right partner for the Louisiana and Mississippi territory. Since our founding, it has always been important to hire the highest quality electrical representative firms with a strong commitment to their customers. We also have ambitious growth goals and firmly believe General Power & Control will help us achieve those goals by 2017.”
