Recognition follows GEP’s previous Outstanding Growth Award and honors its innovation, responsiveness, and customer-focused partnership.

CHANHASSEN, Minn., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Electrical components distributor Waytek, Inc. is proud to announce that GEP Power Products has been named Waytek’s Supplier of the Year.

The Supplier of the Year Award recognizes the Waytek supplier that demonstrates exceptional partnership, performance, and commitment to customer success. GEP Power Products earned this year’s distinction through its product innovation, responsiveness, technical collaboration, and support for Waytek customers.

Over the past year, Waytek doubled the selection of GEP components it offers to keep pace with customer demand. GEP also helped Waytek identify alternatives when products from other suppliers were back-ordered and introduced new products that gave customers more options for critical electrical systems such as high-capacity power distribution modules.

“GEP Power Products has distinguished itself through its willingness to listen, respond, and move quickly,” said Rob Iversrud, Senior Product and Category Manager at Waytek. “Their team works closely with us and our customers to improve products and develop practical solutions. That engagement, along with their rapid development and deployment of new products, has helped us expand our offering and better serve customers.”

This marks GEP Power Products’ second consecutive supplier award from Waytek. The company received Waytek’s Outstanding Growth Award for 2024 after exceptional sales growth of its products. At the time, Waytek recognized GEP’s commitment to innovation, quality, customer service, and the development of high-quality, cost-effective power distribution solutions for demanding applications.

GEP Power Products designs and manufactures advanced power distribution modules and related components for transportation, off-road vehicles, emergency equipment, powersports, outdoor power equipment, and other rugged applications. Its compact, high-performance products are engineered to perform in harsh environments, helping Waytek customers address power distribution, protection, switching, and termination needs.

“We are honored to receive Waytek’s Supplier of the Year award,” said Ryan Schmus, CEO and Owner of GEP Power Products. “Being recognized by Waytek for the second consecutive year reflects the dedication of our entire team and the strength of our partnership. We believe long-term success comes from providing exceptional customer service through strong partnerships with companies like Waytek, while remaining committed to developing innovative, high-quality products for the markets we serve. Together, these priorities create a winning combination for our mutual customers. We look forward to building on our success with Waytek for years to come.”

“Waytek’s close customer relationships and understanding of the market help us identify opportunities and respond quickly to evolving customer needs,” said John Losee, General Manager of GEP Power Products. “By combining their market insight with our engineering and manufacturing capabilities, we’re able to accelerate product development and deliver practical, innovative solutions to challenging power distribution applications. This award reflects the collaboration between our teams and our shared commitment to helping customers succeed.”
