Brooks Utility Products is a mid-sized manufacturer serving the utilities sector with a broad portfolio of electric metering and related products. Its roots trace back to E.J. Brooks, founded in 1873 as a lead toy maker, which evolved into a lead wire seal producer for railcar and electric meter security markets, and later expanded through acquisitions such as Ekstrom Industries and Meter Devices Company. Today, leveraging more than a century of industry experience, it offers seals, locking equipment, adapters, meter sockets, meter-base testing equipment, test switches, and utility enclosures to address metering and grid-security challenges. Based in Novi, Michigan, the company serves electric utilities and other grid operators seeking reliable components for metering and protection of meter installations. In April 2023, Brooks Utility announced a manufacturing partnership with Utilidata to establish domestic manufacturing for NVIDIA-powered smart grid chips, reflecting collaboration on the modernization of grid technology.
