Louis F. Stratton founds Armature Winding Company in Charlotte, NC, servicing local industry as it changes from steam to electric power
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.
