A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Greetings team, At S&C, we take pride in delivering some of the most innovative and reliable products in our industry. But innovation alone isn’t enough — quality is what ensures our solutions perform consistently and effectively for our customers. That’s why this quarter’s Volts & Jolts is dedicated to a theme that reaches every part of our organization: advancing a true quality culture. Just like safety, quality is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re manufacturing products on the shop floor, supporting our operations, or working directly with customers, each of us plays a role in driving excellence. It’s about expecting more from ourselves, supporting those around us, and building habits that drive continuous improvement across all areas of the organization. This edition highlights how we’re embedding quality into our daily work — from integrating quality and manufacturing engineers into our value streams, to improving our Engineering Change Order process, to launching Six Sigma training that strengthens our problem- solving capabilities. As the journey continues, these efforts are showing promising results in reducing defects, improving cycle times, and helping us deliver better products, faster.
You’ll also read powerful examples of how teams across S&C are solving real challenges — from reducing paint damage on Pad-Mounted Switchgear to improving tester accuracy for EdgeRestore® Underground Distribution Restoration System and VacuFuse® II Self- Resetting Interrupter. These stories demonstrate how quality is a mindset. It’s about listening to those closest to the process, collaborating across teams, and taking ownership of the outcomes we deliver to our customers. As you read through this issue, I encourage you to ask yourself, as I do every day: “How do I contribute to S&C’s success and what can I do to improve?” That’s the heart of a true quality culture! Thank you for your continued commitment to S&C and for living the values that have been the cornerstone of our success for over a century. Together, we’re building a stronger, smarter, and more resilient S&C today — and for generations to come. n Warm regards,
Anders Sjoelin President & CEO
