SmartPlug Systems, a Seattle-based manufacturer specializing in safe and easy-to-use shore power delivery systems for the marine, RV and specialty vehicle markets, has expanded its manufacturing footprint by over 400%. The growth is a result of increasing consumer demand and preparation for its rapidly expanding product line. Its corporate address remains unchanged.

Along with the added space, SmartPlug’s new facility is certified by Intertek ETL for the manufacturing of its patented products. It retains its Canadian CSA, Europe CE and US ETL certifications. The expansion provides the means to dramatically escalate its in-house production work and speed to market.

“This expansion provides the flexibility we need as SmartPlug moves into its exciting—and very near—future,” said Tony Barber, SmartPlug Systems CEO. “We’re setting the stage to accommodate product launches we have in play, with the same level of quality our products are known for.”

SmartPlug Systems designs and manufactures safe alternatives to traditional twist-type AC shore power connections. Its state-of-the-art 30A and 50A plugs, inlets, cordsets and adapters offer a broad range of benefits, the most significant being reduced electrical resistance and overheating—common causes of boat and vehicle fires.
