About TEPS
Your Technical Sales Partner Across the Great Lakes
Who We Are
Your Technical Sales Partner
Total Electric Power Sales (TEPS) Inc. was founded in 1994 with a clear mission: to be the bridge between innovative manufacturers and the customers who need their solutions.
Based in Ferndale, Michigan, we've spent three decades translating technical innovation into real-world results across the Great Lakes region. We're not just order-takers or catalog distributors—we're a technical sales organization that understands the products we represent at the engineering level.
Our territory spans Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, covering the industrial heartland where manufacturing still drives the economy. We know this region, we know its industries, and we know how to get things done.

In 2019, Wayne Monaco took the helm at TEPS, bringing a renewed focus on technical excellence and manufacturer partnerships. Under his leadership, TEPS has strengthened its position as the go-to technical sales partner in the Great Lakes region.
Wayne's approach combines deep product knowledge with a relentless commitment to building lasting relationships—with manufacturers, distributors, and end users alike. The result: consistent year-over-year growth and a reputation for delivering on our promises.
"Our job is simple: help our manufacturers win. When they win, our distributors win, our customers win, and we win. That's the only way to build something that lasts.
