Manufacturer - East Coast Lightning Equipment

Verstick - The latest innovation in VFC’s product line.

Unlike suppliers who carry lightning protection as part of a broader catalog, ECLE's entire operation…from its 26,000 sq. ft. production facility to its technical resources… is focused exclusively on lightning protection components.

East Coast Lightning Equipment (ECLE) has been a dedicated manufacturer of lightning protection equipment since 1984, with industry roots stretching back to 1967. Their American-made product line spans air terminals, conductors, grounding systems, and fittings, all manufactured to NFPA 780 standards; they also supply surge suppression devices to round out a complete system solution for contractors and specifiers.
