Gerben Bakker, Former Group President of Hubbell Power Systems, Inc. stated “I thank everybody that stood out as they always do. It’s really what sets us apart from anyone else in this industry. It’s the great people that we have that are such believers in what we do, and rally not only every day, but especially in times like these.”
