Born from disruption, LFG Manufacturing is redefining electrical manufacturing through contractor-led innovation
A subsidiary of design-build contractor Power Design, electrical equipment manufacturer LFG – which stands for‘ Let’ s Fucking Go’ – overcame the challenges of the 2022-to-2023 supply chain crisis, which included overspending to keep client projects on schedule, not having distribution equipment delivered on time and seeing a strain put on relationships it had built over time.
Although it was thrown into this tough position following the pandemic, today, the Florida-based manufacturer is not only fully operational; it is one of the most intriguing new entrants in a sector long dominated by a handful of global giants. Zac Elkins, Chief Operating Officer, elaborates on LFG’ s pivot towards building the equipment it could no longer reliably source.“ We take a great deal of pride in meeting our commitments. We decided we would start looking at how we could continue to control our own destiny. Acquisition often involves inheriting problems and bad habits. We looked at some smaller and mid-sized shops; however, we decided it simply wasn’ t worth it and opted to rely on ourselves again.”
The team spent much of 2023 learning manufacturing processes and expanding an existing 208,000-square-foot Florida facility, and by mid-2024 LFG was building earnestly. The first UL 891 low voltage switchboard was released to a Power Design project in late 2024 and LFG was formally spun off as a standalone entity in early 2025, with Zac shifting from a project management
