FOSTERING EXCELLENCE IN ALL THINGS ELECTROMECHANICAL
SINCE 1907.

Over our long history, we've built a company and culture that we're proud of. We've also learned that people are our greatest asset, that it's important to share knowledge and findings freely, and that there is a solid middle ground between hands-on ingenuity and technological innovation. We think that's what makes us more than just a respected motor shop; we're a home for human energy and the spark it creates.
