SEL has experienced steady growth for more than four decades and continues to serve the needs of the critical infrastructure sector.
“Worldwide demand for our products is increasing and we’re pleased to offer new opportunities in Pullman, Moscow and Lewiston and to share our success with our employees,” said SEL Founder Edmund O. Schweitzer, III.
