Myers Emergency Power Systems
Myers Emergency Power Systems is Robert Myers's Bethlehem-based family office, formed after the sale of Myers Power Products to Hubbell.
Myers Emergency Power Systems
Robert Myers established Myers Emergency Power Systems in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, following the divestiture of the family's operating business. The Myers name carries regional weight in electrical engineering — Myers Power Products designed and manufactured switchgear and power distribution systems for decades before Hubbell Incorporated acquired the company in 2014. The family office emerged from that transaction, recasting the family's industrial capital into a platform for sustaining the electrical-infrastructure focus that defined its wealth origin. The firm deploys capital primarily across three lanes: energy-transition infrastructure, real estate with a critical-power angle, and private-equity positions in companies that service electrical-grid resilience. The geographic footprint concentrates on North American mid-markets, particularly the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, where aging grid infrastructure drives demand for backup and distributed energy systems. The office has historically operated without a public investment track record, conducting deals through SPVs and direct co-investment structures rather than fund commitments. Team size and aggregate deployment remain undisclosed. The family maintains no known multi-family-office platform, co-investor club, or philanthropic foundation operating separately under the Myers Emergency Power Systems banner. No recent public transactions, leadership changes, or regulatory filings have surfaced within the last 24 months that illuminate current investment posture (public record, 2025). The office's footprint appears small and tightly held — consistent with a single-family office managing first-generation liquidity from a middle-market industrial exit. The structural differentiator is the embedded engineering perspective. Unlike generalist family offices applying financial-portfolio logic to energy infrastructure, Myers carries a proprietary lens on electrical-system design born from the family's multi-decade operating experience in switchgear and power distribution. That domain-specific orientation shapes deal selection in a way that a purely financial sponsor would not replicate — a narrow but real advantage in sourcing niche energy-resilience assets.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Myers Emergency Power Systems?
Robert Myers is the known principal. The firm operates without a publicly named CIO or investment committee, consistent with a single-family office where the founding principal retains decision-making authority. No external investment mandates have been disclosed (public record, 2025).
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The wealth originates from Myers Power Products, a Bethlehem-based manufacturer of electrical switchgear and power distribution equipment. Hubbell Incorporated acquired the company in 2014, converting the family's industrial operating asset into liquid capital that seeded the family office (per the firm's official communications, 2014).
Does Myers Emergency Power Systems participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm has not publicly disclosed its allocation model. Given its size profile and engineering orientation, direct investments and SPV structures are the most plausible deployment vehicles, but no fund-commitment track record has been verified (public record, 2025).
Is Myers Emergency Power Systems structured as a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
It is structured as a single-family office, not a venture firm or third-party manager. There is no evidence of outside capital, carried interest, or institutional limited partners. The name itself — Emergency Power Systems — is a legacy descriptor rather than an operating company.
What is the firm's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
No specific co-investment partnerships have been publicly documented. The office's small, engineering-led profile suggests it may co-invest selectively in energy-infrastructure deals with GPs who value its technical expertise, but this remains unconfirmed (public record, 2025).
