2012- 3 Phase Power Systems (formerly GLC Controls Inc.) is a full-service industrial automation and controls company that is based in Prince George with sales offices in Vancouver and Calgary. 3 Phase Power Systems specializes in providing state-of-the-art technology products and solutions for a wide range of industrial automation and control systems including electrical design, programmable logic controller, human machine interface, and motion programming, control panel fabrication, variable-frequency drive integration and services and programmable logic controller training. The company works on a wide variety of projects, having successfully completed over 2,000 projects primarily in the wood product manufacturing industry.
In 2009, 3 Phase Power Systems invested in an expansion of its business that included the creation of two new full-time automation specialists and two new full-time wiring technicians positions. This expansion, which was supported by Northern Development’s Capital Investment and Training Rebate, was a key step in the company’s strategic plan to expand and diversify the markets, focusing on the oil and gas as well as the mining sector.
These employment positions have been integral to the company’s fabrication of control panels, programming of human machine interfaces, programmable logic controllers and system integration projects. The expansion has also included an investment in a management system upgrade that included the installation of a new enterprise resource planning system in order for the company to manage and monitor a variety of business functions. The integration of the management of its business operations allowed 3 Phase Power Systems to focus on improving profitability and competitiveness with Alberta-based companies, particularly within the oil and gas sector that the company is in the process of developing market share.
