About Us

Who We Are

The Arthur N. Ulrich Company was founded in 1958 and today is a third generation family-owned, operated and managed manufacturer’s representative agency located in Pataskala, OH. We specialize in the technical application and sale of high integrity prime and backup electrical power systems for a variety of critical infrastructure needs in the healthcare, railroad, financial, utility, telecom, education, industrial and data processing fields.

In addition we also own and operate two subsidiary companies known as RedHawk Energy Systems, LLC and RedHawk Services, LLC.

RedHawk Energy Systems, LLC is a value-added manufacturing subsidiary of the Arthur N. Ulrich Company.  Since the early 1980’s, we’ve helped commercial and industrial customers tackle their prime and backup power challenges with innovative and renewable power solutions ranging from a few watts to several kilowatts.

RedHawk Services, LLC was formed to provide startup and maintenance services for products we sell including battery & chargers, isolation power panels,  solar power systems, fuel cells, stirling engine generators and more! 

Our History

Over the past 60+ years the company has grown from one employee in a rented storage room in downtown Columbus, OH, to a multi-person, multi-million dollar sales agency with a custom office building and sophisticated selling and customer support systems. Throughout our history we have been instrumental in the introduction of many new types and designs of batteries, battery chargers, ups systems, renewable energy systems and power control systems.
