Electric Research and Manufacturing Cooperative, Inc. (ERMCO) was recently honored with a Supplier Excellence Award at the 2025 Arizona Public Services (APS) Key Supplier Forum.

CEO Tim Mills, CSO Kurtis McMillen, Vice President of Sales Brett Weyers, and Gorman Company President Josh Gorman accepted the award on ERMCO’s behalf.

APS recognized ERMCO’s exceptional performance in meeting the needs of APS and its customers by manufacturing and delivering pad mount transformers needed to uphold its mission to deliver reliable power. Due to ERMCO’s customer service and partnership, APS completed record-high residential and non-residential met sets in 2024, approximately 34,000.

Since beginning the partnership in 2021, ERMCO has increasingly allocated material volume capacity of distribution transformers and critical equipment to APS, helping keep the lights on for Arizonians.

This award reflects the dedication of all ERMCO teammates, who make achievements such as this possible every day.

ERMCO is grateful to APS for this recognition and the strong partnership built between both entities.
