Product sales encompass power supplies, converters, filters, transformers, magnetic components, power distribution units, uninterruptible power supplies, and antennas designed for rugged industrial and military use. Service revenue comes from design and development work, build to print projects based on customer specifications, environmental testing, metal fabrication, painting, and the creation of automatic test equipment. The firm markets these offerings through its own direct sales organization and via independent sales representatives, targeting large industrial manufacturers, defense contractors, the United States government, foreign governments, and major foreign electronic equipment companies. Contracts are often fixed price and are sourced from both domestic and international defense procurement agencies.

Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. competes in a fragmented market that includes divisions of the largest electronic corporations as well as numerous smaller specialized firms.

Competitive advantages stem from its ability to control the entire production cycle from component fabrication to final test, its reputation for reliability in severe environments, and its flexible pricing strategy that balances repeat program retention with competitiveness in new bids. The company notes that price, product performance, experience, and historical customer relationships are the principal methods of competition in both military and industrial electronics.
