About Industrial Semiconductor, Inc.
Industrial Semiconductor, Inc. was founded in 1991 by Fred Marquardt in Granville, Illinois. Marquardt’s career began in a radio and TV repair shop before he joined the United States Air Force, where he worked on vacuum tube and solid-state electronics. He later became part of the SCR development team at National Electronics, contributing to manufacturing innovations and serving on the JEDEC Industry Standards Committee. The business incorporated in 2004, and in 2015 ownership transferred to Steven Malavolti, a 20-year U.S. Navy veteran and former chief petty officer, who had joined the company in 2007 and became general manager in 2010. The company operates as a mainline stocking distributor of high-power semiconductors, including SCRs, diodes, bridge modules, thyristor modules, diode modules, and GTOs from manufacturers such as Dynex, Times Electric, RIRI Power Electronics, GE, Westinghouse, Infineon, Powerex, Mitsubishi, Westcode, and IXYS. In addition to distribution, Industrial Semiconductor provides heatsink extrusion and assembles air-cooled thyristor, diode-heatsink, and SCR-heatsink assemblies. The Granville facility maintains an extensive inventory with same-day shipping and no minimum order requirement. Customers span the power electronics, automotive racing, and renewable energy sectors. Early projects included solid-state timing systems for SCCA and NASCAR racing, as well as portable timing for Ford Motor Company’s road racing team. More recently, the company serves the wind turbine energy market and broader industrial power applications, working directly with engineers and OEMs who require technical problem-solving rather than transactional sales. Industrial Semiconductor distinguishes itself by avoiding e-commerce automation in favor of direct voice and email contact, staffing technical problem solvers who know the product line. The company sells only new, factory-tested components to original OEM specifications, aiming to build a long-term team that can meet evolving power industry needs.
